        All Uncovered
        by The Watchmen
        from the album In the Trees (1994)

This song is in 12/8, so listen to it to get the right feel. It starts out
just with drums, and then the bass plays this:

intro:
   1 + +  2 + + 3 + +  4 + +
G|---6------6-----6------6---|
D|-4----4-4---4-4----4-4---4-|  x2
A|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|

intro (second part) and verse:
   1 + +  2 + + 3 + +  4 + +         1 + +  2 + + 3 + +  4 + +
G|---9------9-----6------6---|     |---4------------2------2---|
D|s7----7-7---7s4----4-4---4-| x3  |s2----2-2-4-2-0----0-0---0-|
A|---------------------------|     |---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|     |---------------------------|

The guitar comes in after the bass has played these two figures. The second
one is repeated with the guitar riff once for the intro and during all the
verses.

intro and verse:

   1 +  +   2    +    +  3  +   +     4 + +

verse 1: (lyrics to the whole song are very tentative)

Lying in bedrooms is easy
It's not like it's five years ago
Lately you're over my body
Is that just the place that I want you to be?

verse 2:

Look at the pictures you've gotten
Like signals from oncoming cars
We're covered in cake from the last time
I know it sounds very collected and ?????
Is that just the place that I wanna be?

pre-chorus:

A            E          A            E    
Oh can't you see it's a left sign on me
E            C#m                    B
Please don't make this thing up for me  (The way that I wanna be)

A            E          A            E
Oh can't you see it's a left sign on me
E            C#m                    B
Please don't make this thing up for me


Play the verse figure once (it's doubled by a cello in the original arrangement)

verse 3:

Driving in style with a smile-on
I wish the light could turn red on me now
The day's been so damn hard already
So buckle me in on the highway of sin
Is that just the way that I wanna be?

pre-chorus

B
Ah han...

chorus:

                 A    D
Is that just the way
                 A    D
Is that just the way
      A         D
All uncover-----huh----ed
                 A    D
Is that just the way--ay-ay


There a few harmonica licks here, over the same chord progression.

guitar solo:

Repeat verse 3 and the chorus. The song ends on short harmonica section
similar to the one before the guitar solo.
