All Over Me Tab

by Mark Curry




MARK CURRY - ALL OVER ME
from the VIRGIN album "IT'S ONLY TIME"
copyright 1992 by Virgin Records America Inc.
(who failed to publish his third album!)
written by MARK CURRY

Mark Curry - Vocals and Acoustic
Waddy Wachtel - electric slide guitar
Paul Roessler - organ
Kenny Lyon - bass
Charlie Quintana- drums and percussion

bu - bend up
rb - release bend
^ - pull off OR hammer on
bq - bend a 1/4 note
/ or \ - slide

examples:
7bu8, bend string at 7th fret to make it sound like the 8th
7bq , bend string at 7th fret to make it sound a 1/4 note higher

I normally try to figure out the rhythm exactly, because in my opinion a
tab without rhythmic information is not a great help to learn a song. But
in this case I just can't. Mr. Curry seems not to be concerned if anybody
do without.
Excuse the errors. I have some difficulties sometimes to hear his guitar in
the recording.
Never forget to give Mr. Curry his credits performing this song. I think he
could use selling some more of his CDs.
This is for YOU, Paul!

I play the chords as follows:

     F#(II) F#(VI)   E(IV) E(VII)   B  B  B7  C#  A  Bb
            bridge         chorus
e-I--2------6--------0-----7--------2--7--2---4---5--6------------|I
b-I--2------7--------5-----9--------4--7--4---6---5--6------------|I
g-I--3------6--------4-----9--------4--8--2---6---6--7------------|I
d-I--4------8--------6-----9--------4--9--4---6---7--8------------|I
A-I--4------9--------7-----7--------2--9--2---4---7--8------------|I
E-I--2---------------0-----0-----------7----------5--6------------|I

plus some more chords in the bridge...
Played this way the slides between the chords sound good to me.

Whenever you can bind two chords by a slide, DO IT. That's all.
