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
transcribed by Anand Kumar using a CD, an ancoustic and two ears
(Halfindy@aol.com, st001904@hrz1.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de)

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
can transcribe the stuff he plays or not (why should he?), so it'll have to
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.
