Lover's Hands Alan Doyle
Awesome song by Great Big Sea's Alan Doyle. Here is another way to play it, I hope you
enjoy. Would love to hear some comments on what you think it is about ... I can't quite
place it, but I have a few ideas.

[Intro]
G, Csus2 (x2)
[Verse 1]
[G]Let it be dark in this [Csus2]caravan
[G]Rocket lightning striking [Am]metal in the [D]sand
[G]I'm miles from common sense, as [Csus2]welcome as the rain
[G]So close to madness that I [Am]even know its n[D]ame
[Cborus]
Lay your [Csus2]lover's hands [G]upon me
Let me [D]understand you [Em7]know
Lay your [Csus2]lover's hands [G]upon me
Let me [D]go
[Csus2]Lie to me [G]sweetly
Then [D]discreetly leave me [Em7]alone
Lay your [Csus2]lover's hands [G]upon me
Let me [D]go
Aw, let me go
[Instrumental]
G, Csus2
[Verse 2]
Let there be thunder, let me feel the trembling pain
Taste me now I'm desert clean, I might never be again
Long past the Thinkerâ??s point, I'm open and I'm free
I gave up the anchor when I gave up the sea
[Cborus]
Lay your lover's hands upon me
Let me understand you know
Lay your lover's hands upon me
Let me go
Lie to me sweetly
Then discreetly leave me alone
Lay your lover's hands upon me
Let me go
Aw, let me go
[Instrumental]
G, Csus2 (x2)
[Bridge]
And the [Em7]storm hits
My [D]finger tips
And I'm [G]blown to bits through the [Csus2]pyramids
I [G]buried that man the [D]moment I could [Em7]dig
And the [Csus2]flag snaps back
And I'm [D]scattered to the [Em7]wind
And the [G]door pretends
I [D]never let you [G]in[Csus2]
[Instrumental]
G, Csus2
[Verse 3]
Let it be dark in this endless caravan
Rocked by lightning, striking metal in the sand
I'm miles from common sense, as welcome as the rain
So close to madness, that I even know her name
[Cborus]
Lay your lover's hands upon me
Let me understand you know
Lay your lover's hands upon me
Let me go
Lie to me sweetly
Then discreetly leave me alone
Lay your lover's hands upon me
Let me go
Aw, let me go
[Outro]
G, Csus2 (x2)
