Song: Hands All Over

Tuning: DADGBE

Great song from LTL. It was a single I believe.

Intro:
e||-------------|-------------||
b||-------------|-------------||
g||o-7--7--7--7-|-7--7--7--7-o||
d||o-0--0--0--0-|-0--0--0--0-o||
a||-------------|-------------||
d||-------------|-------------||

Play that 4 times on the upbeats only (no, its NOT ska) and then this:

e|-5--5--5--5--|/7--7--7--7--|/8--8--8--8--|/10--10--10--10--|
b|-------------|-------------|-------------|-----------------|
g|-2--2--2--2--|/4--4--4--4--|/5--5--5--5--|-/8---8---8---8--|
d|-0--0--0--0--|----0--0--0--|----0--0--0--|------0---0---0--|

Don't touch me!

Main Riff:
g|-------------------------------|------------------------------|
d|----------------------------0--|----------------------------0-|
a|-------------------------------|------------------------------|
d|-0--0-0-3/(5)--0-0--5/(12)-12--|-0--0-0-3/(5)--0-0--5/(12)-12-|

Palm mute during the verses and hit it hard for the choruses.

Between verses Riff:
e----------||-----------------------||---------------------------
b----------||o---------------------o||---------------------------
g----11----||o-11------------11----o||-11---------11b--11--------
d-10----10-||------10-10--10----10--||-----12-12----------12-12--

Play that twice the first two times...four times the last time. The last
time you play the pre-chorus add an open D note every measure.

Chorus: (and I love her...)

     Lyrics:
     Hands all over the Eastern border
     You know what? I think we're falling
     From composure...
     Hands all over the Western culture
     Ruffling feathers and turning eagles
     Into vultures...Yeah into vultures...

     Got my arms around baby brother
     Put your hands away
     You're gonna kill your mother

     Gonna kill your mother...
     Kill your mother...
     And I love her

     Hands all over the coastal waters
     The crew men thank her
     Then lay down their oily blanket...
     Hands all over the inland forest
     In a striking motion trees fall down
     Like dying soldiers...Yeah like dying soldiers...

     Hands all over the peasant's daughter
     She's our bride
     She'll never make it out alive...
     Hands all over the words I utter
     Change them into what you want to
     Like balls of clay...
     Put your hands away...

     Yeah put your hands away...your hands away...
     You're gonna kill your mother
     Kill your mother...
     And I love her
