(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
Intro: G---Am---G---Am-D-G---Am---Bm---Cmaj7
G D
You've got your big girls
C D
Now you have your young ones too
Wonder if someday I can have them
The way I once had you
Em D
I remember your grin and remarks
Em D
We'd get drunk and go out after dark
C D
Searching for someone we could take home
G Am
You don't wanna be alone
G Am D
You don't wanna see the sun go down
G Am
You don't wanna open the door
D C D C
And see her go
One step and tomorrow comes
Two steps and she's off with someone
Three steps and it's all you know
Bm C
You'll be home, she'll be gone
(G-D-C-D)
So what are you gonna do about me?
I'll be there when you have no one else
Spotted the ocean in the south's holy land
I'll be there, be your friend
(Em-D thing)
Hold on strong, don't let go
There'll never be no one to take your place
So don't you wanna reach out and take my hand?
(chorus)
Solo: G-D-C-D thing, then Em-D thing
(chorus)
(repeat 2nd half of chorus)

@SONG: * HOLD MY HAND
(tabbed by Paul Hutchinson )
Intro:
|Bsus2 E | x4
Bsus2 E Bsus2 E
With a little love and some tenderness
Bsus2 E Bsus2 E etc
We'll walk upon the water, we'll rise above the mist
With a little peace, and some harmony
We'll take the world together, we'll take them by the hand
F# E* B
Cause, I got a hand for you, oh
F# E* B
Cause, I wanna run with you
Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was heavy, your eyes were red, no comb had touched your hair
I said "Get up, and let me see you smile
We'll take a walk together, walk the road a while"
Cause, I got a hand for you - I got a hand for you
I wanna run with you - won't you let me run with you
B E* F#
Hold my hand - want you to hold my hand
B E* F#
Hold my hand - I'll take you to a place where you can be
B E* F#
Hold my hand - anything you wanna be, because
E*
I wanna love you the best that, the best that I can
See I was wasted, and I was wasting time
Till I thought about your problems, I thought about your crimes
Then I stood up, and then I screamed aloud
"Don't wanna be part of your problems, don't wanna be part of your crowd, no"
Cause, I gotta hand for you - I got a hand for you
I wanna run with you - won't you let me run with you
Hold my hand - want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand - I will take you to the promised land
Hold my hand - Maybe we can't change the world but,
I wanna love you, the best that, the best that I can
Solo: |Bsus2 E | x4
|F# E* |B | x2
Hold my hand - want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand - I'll take you to a place where you can be
Hold my hand - anything you wanna be cause
I, no lo lo, oh ho (!?)
Hold my hand - want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand - I will take you to the promised land
Hold my hand - Maybe we can't change the world but,
I wanna love you, the best that, the best that I can

@SONG: * LET HER CRY
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
G D
She sits alone by a lamppost
C (or Csus9) G
Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
She says Dad's the one I love the most
But Stipe's not far behind
She never let's me in
Only tells me where she's been
When she's had too much to drink
I say that I don't care
I just run my hands through her dark hair
Then I pray to God you gotta help me fly away
And just...
C
Let her cry
G
If the tears fall down like rain
C
Let her sing
Em G D
If it eases all her pain
C
Let her go
G
Let her walk right out on me
D
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
C G
Let her be, let her be
This morning I woke up alone
Found a note standing by the phone
Saying, "Baby, maybe I'll be back someday"
I wanted to look for you
You walked in I didn't know just what I should do
So I sat back down and had a beer and felt sorry for myself
Saying...
(chorus)
(solo - 8 bars over verse)
(chorus)
Last night I tried to leave
Cried so much I could not believe
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
She went in the back to get high
And I sat down on my couch and cried
Yelling "Oh mama, please help me
Won't you hold my hand"
And...
(chorus) x 2

@SONG: * ONLY WANNA BE WITH YOU
(tabbed by Steve Vetter
and Paul Hutchinson )
NB Capo 2nd fret
Intro: |E Aadd6 |E Aadd6 |E Aadd6 |Bsus4 |
|E Aadd6 |E Aadd6 |E Aadd6 |E Aadd6 |
E Aadd6 E Aadd6
You and me, we come from different worlds
E Aadd6 E Aadd6
You like to laugh at me when I look at other girls
Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why
I'm such a baby, cause the dolphins make me cry
F#m7sus A
Well there's nothing I can do
E Aadd6 E Aadd6
I've been looking for a girl like you *
You look at me, you got nothing left to say
I'm gonna pout at you until I get my way
I won't dance, you won't sing
I just want to love you, but you want to wear my ring
But there's nothing I can do
I only wanna be with you *
A Bsus
You can call me a fool
E etc
I only wanna be with you
Put on a little Dylan** sitting on a fence
I say that line has made you ask me what it meant by it
Said I shot a man named Grey, took his wife to Italy
She inherited a million bucks and when she died it came to me
I can't help it if I'm lucky, I only wanna be with you *
Ain't Bobby so cool, I only wanna be with you
Solo: (Same chords as verse)
Well I'm tangled up in blue, I only wanna be with you *
You can call me a fool, I only wanna be with you
Sometimes I wonder if it'll ever end
you get so mad at me when I go out with my friends
Sometimes you're crazy and you wonder why
I'm such a baby, yeah, the dolphins make me cry
But there's nothing I can do - I only wanna be with you *
You can call me a fool, I only wanna be with you *
A Bsus
Yeah I'm tangled up in blue, I only wanna be with you *
I only wanna be with you *
I only wanna be with you *
I only wanna be with you *
Chords: E-022100 Aadd6-x04200 Bsus-x24400 F#m7sus-244200 A-x02220
NB: Note that the bass guitar treats the Aadd6 chords as B
...............
**Dylan as in Bob whose borrowed line from Idiot Wind appears in this
song. They credit Bob in the liner notes for the first album Kootchypop.
They also refer to Tangled up in Blue from the same album. Curiously enough,
they also are probably reffering to Dillon Fence a band from the same area,
which has had some regional success. And you thought you were just getting
a CRD file
;-) -sjv
................
There's a ton of guitars on this song (maybe a mandolin too) and it's
very difficult to audibly separate them. Just strum along. However, there is
a fill used at the points of the song marked with an asterisk *:

|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|
|-------2---4---4-|/6-4-2-4---2-----|
|---2-4-----------|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|
This is doubled an octave up - you can do this on one guitar with an octave
pedal or a pitch shifter set an octave up.
This is the solo. Note that for the first few bars, since it is played
close
to the capo, I've given fret positions relative to the capo.
+ + + + + + + +
|-4p0---7p0---2p0---7p0---4p0-----|-2p0---7p0---5p0---4p0---2p0-0---|

Since the last 2 bars are played further up the neck, I've given the
actual
fret positions (ie relative to the nut)

(First time just riff - see tab,

D Bm D Bm A
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
D Bm D A D
Don't try and tell me what they're talking about, oh
Those things you're dealing with, you're living a lie
Everytime I see you it makes me wanna cry
(intro riff)
The times we laughed and talked, seems like yesterday
Then you let the white horse come and take you away
They came to get you it was coal black
The wheels were in motion, there was no turning back
A Bm
Running from an angel
A Bm G
Running to the devil, devil yeah
(intro riff)
Running from an angel

I gave up on you a long time ago
Well, there's something I want you to know
Your lying and cheating really tore us apart
Please don't come home if you're gonna break my mama's heart

NB This is doubled an octave above by violin. You can copy this with an
octave pedal (as in Only Wanna Be With You) if you have one.
During the verses, the electric just strums the chords, but plays the last
bar of the intro riff over the D A D bar -"what they're talking about"
Solo:
Play this over the D chords in the solo- (just strum for the other chords)

Intro: |E |G#m |F#m |E | x3 (Band in 2nd time)
E G#m
Mama please don't go
F#m E
Won't you stay for one more day
I've been your boy for so long now
There's so much I, I still have to say
The sky ripped open and I held my heart in my hand
Like a soldier on his very last day
Cried myself to sleep that night
And I listened as I heard the angels sing, Sha la la
E B D A
Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm goin home
Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home
Something inside of me makes me scream
How could God take you from a little boy?
He'll be all right he's by my side
He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy, Sha la la la
Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm goin home
Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home
Solo: (Same chords as half a verse)
Summer on the radio }
When the phone rang, and it was Jeannette }- Without guitars
Saying, "Boy, we got to let her go" }
I beg, "No, no not yet" }
You left six of us to fend for ourselves
Guess it's just part of someone's master plan
We'll see you left cause your my best friend
You were lighter then and I smiled when the angels sang sha la la la
Chorus: (Repeat to fade)
Chords: E-022100 G#m-466444 F#m-244222 B-x24442 D-x00232
NB: Although I think the chord formations shown above are those used on the
recording, if you are playing this by yourself you can make the chorus
sound really big by using B-799800 D-x50770. :-)

@SONG: * DROWNING
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu,
and Paul Hutchinson )
(intro): |G Fadd9| x8
G Fadd9 G Fadd9
Trouble with the world is we're too busy to think about it, all right
Why is there a rebel flag hanging from the state house walls?
Tired of hearin' this shit about heritage not hate
Time to make the world a better place
Why must we hate one another?
Well no matter what we gotta live together
Just that you don't look like me, tell me what do you see
When we pass on the street what do you wanna see?
Am-C-Am-G-Am-C-D
Peace coming is all I gotta say
Wanna turn and run away
They're just telling you how they see it
Right or wrong they don't care, you wish that they would quit
Am-C-Am-G-Am-F-G
C F G F
Drowning in a sea of tears
Hatred trying to hide your fears
Living only for yourself
Hating everybody else
Cause they don't look like you
|G Fadd9| x4
Nancy singing it's a hard life wherever you go
About some fat racist living in Chicago
Trying to teach his kids to hate everyone
Well tell me why is that something you wanna teach your son?
Am-C-Am-G-Am-C-D
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/h/hootie_and_the_blowfish/cracked_rear_view_tab.html ]
Why must we hate one another?
When the people in the church, they tell me you're my brother
You don't walk like a redneck, you don't talk like redneck
Go back to Africa, I just don't understand
(chorus)
(solo): |G Fadd9| x8
(C-F-G-F)
(Drowning) I'm trying to be someone that he could look up to, but
(Hatred) When I walk down the street, tell me what do you see?
I'm a man, I'm a man, I'm a man
(Living) No I'm not like you
Why do you hate me so?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
(Hating) Hating everybody else cause they don't look like you
................
There are two rhythm guitars here. A clean electric (mixed left) strums
chords throughout the song. Note that Fadd9 is played as 1x3213 (playing the
bass string with your thumb). An acoustic (mixed right) is played with a capo
on the fifth fret - to convert the chords:
G becomes D, Fadd9 => Cadd9 (x32033), Am => Em, C => G, F => C, D => A
There are also two lead guitars in this song, which play the solo and the
links between the verses. They play power chords for the Am-C... things.
If you only have one lead guitarist in your band, you can loosely approximate
both guitar parts with a pitch shifter by playing the right channel guitar
(the one on top) with pitch shifter set to a perfect 4th (5 frets) above- use
your ears and change the bits which end up sounding particularly daft.

Chidren killing in the streets
Dying for the color of a rag
Time__, hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean make them clean
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight
Will you teach me about tommorow
When all the pain and sorrow, running free
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in
D
Time is wasting
Em
Time is walking
D Em
You ain't no friend of mine
D Em
I don't know where I'm going
D Em A G
Think I'm out of my mind
D Em D Em
Thinking about time
Em Asus
If I die tomorrow yeah
A D Em D Em
just lay me down to sleep
Solo: |Bm A |G |Bm A |D G |A G |A G |A G |
Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm going
Think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time
Time__, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time__, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
But now only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me about tommorow
And all the pain and sorrow, running free
Cause tommorow's just another day
And I don't believe in
Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm going
Think I'm out of my mind {keep playing Ds and Ems}
Walking, wasted
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm going
A G
Oh no, no, no, Do without courage and ???
D Em D Em
It's just wasted, wasted, wasted time
Em Asus A
Oh..
D Em D Em D Em D Em
Ooo............
D Em D Em D Em D
Time__, why you punish me?

The following is the riff played (twice at the start as an intro, and then
throughout the verse) by two semi-clean electric guitars

At this point an acoustic guitar enters strumming the chords. From this
point on, one of the electrics plays the riff during the verses, the part
shown above during the bridges, and strums the chords during the choruses
("Time is wasting..") and solo. The second electric plays the occasional
power chord during verses and bridges and strums along to the choruses.
It also takes the solo:

At the end of the last chorus, the second guitar drops out; the acoustic
and the first electric play the main riff in unison to the end, finishing
with an open D chord.

@SONG: * LOOK AWAY
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu
and Paul Hutchinson )
(riff-see tab)
Saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheeks told me something was wrong
I asked her what it was
She looked away and said, "My daddy's home"
(riff)
I knew what that meant
It meant that I can never see you again
I had seen this once before
I didn't wanna deal with it anymore
G Em
"Look away", she said
D D/F# G
As she turned a-way from me
Em
And I tried to hold her
D D/F# G
Couldn't let her be
Em D D/F#
Let her be, let her be
(riff)
I said "Why,
Why do you make me cry"
She said, "I love you so
Look away, I don't wanna know"
(riff)
I saw her standing there
Tears upon her cheek told me something's wrong
I said, "What baby"
She looked away and said, "My daddy's home"
"Look away", she said
As she turned away
My God, I know I loved her, couldn't let her be
Let her be, let her be
(riff)
Look away
Look away
She said, "I love you so
Look away"

@SONG: * NOT EVEN THE TREES
(tabbed by by Marc Virata ,
Steve Vetter ,
randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu,
and Paul Hutchinson )
Intro: |Dsus2 |A/D | x2
Dsus2 A/D
Alone, as I sit and watch the trees
Dsus2 A/D
Won't you tell me if I scream, will they bend down and listen to me
Bm A
And it makes me wonder if I'll know the words when you come
G
Or will you laugh at me or will I run?
Little boy says to me "Where you goin' now, son?"
I said "I don't know where I'm goin' boy
I only know where I'm from."
And it makes me wonder if the stars shine when my eyes close
G D
Or does my brother's heart cry, oh I don't know
G D
I'm a stranger in my home
G D
Now that everybody's gone
G Bm Bm7
Someone please talk to me cause I feel you cry
A G
And you're sitting with him and I know I'll never see you again
Lying down in Charleston underneath the Carolina sky
You see I'm tired of feeling this pain
I'm tired of livin' my own little lie
And it makes me wonder when I see you in my dreams
Does it mean anything, are you trying to talk to me?
I'm a stranger in my home
Tell me, are you feeling alone?
Someone tell me what to do,
'Cause I'm feeling strong
And I wonder how you feel
G F#m Em
Does he realize, my pain is for real
Bm
I see you in my dreams
Asus A7 Bm Bm7
and I wonder if you're looking down at me and smiling right now
A G Bm
Oh yeah I wanna know if it's true, when he looks at me
Bm7 Asus
Won't ya tell me, does he realize,
A7
he came down here, and he took you to soon, oh
And now my days are short and my nights are long
I lay down out with memories of you, that keep me going on, going on
Now I know that it makes me wonder, as I sit and stare,
Will I see your face again - tell me, do you care?
I'm a stranger in my home
Livin' life on my own
Right now I just can't see
'Cause I'm feeling weak
And my soul begins to bleed
And no one's listening to me
Not even the trees

Intro riff:
+ + + + + + + +

|-----------------|-----------------|
This is played over the first half of the verses, twice before each verse,
and four times at the end of the song.
The following is played over the second half of the first verse:
+ + + + + + + + + +
|-----2------2----|-----0------0----|-3----
|-------3------3--|-------2------2--|-3----
|---4-------4-----|---2-------2----0|-0----
|----------4------|----------2------|-0----
|-2-------2-------|-0-------0-------|-2----
|-----------------|-----------------|-3----
At the end of the other verses, going into the chorus, rather than holding
the G chord, play the following:
+ + + + + + + + + + + +
|-----3------3----|-------------------------|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|
|-------3---3--3--|-3-------3-3-3-3---3-----|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|

|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
|-3-------3-------|---------------------2---|-3-------3-3-3-3-----3---|
Note that after the first verse, there are three guitars on the recording
doing their own thing - but since there isn't really anything fancy enough
to justify wasting a lot of space tabbing them all out, the chord
formations shown above make a reasonable arrangement for one guitar.
However, do note that over the verse riff, one of the other guitars
(an acoustic) uses these chords: Dsus2-xx0235 A/D-xx0225

@SONG: * GOODBYE
(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu)
Note: This is the piano part, transcribed for guitar - it sounds
really cool to arpeggiate the chords some... :)
Intro: G---Em---C-Bm-Am---
G Em
Tomorrow used to be a day away
C Bm Am
Now love is gone and you're into someone far away
I never thought the day would come
When I would see his hand not mine
Holding on to yours because I could not
Find the time
G Am
And now I can't deny
G Am
Nothing lasts forever
C D Em A
But I don't wanna leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
C D G-C G/B-C-G
I don't wanna live to see the day we say goodbye
Now there comes another fallen life
I come alone
Sitting at a bar with Chris that I can't leave
'Cause my house ain't no home
I just wanna touch you girl
I wanna feel you close to me
Without your love I would give up now
And walk away so easily
So maybe while we're gone
We'll figure out together
That even with the pain there's a remedy
We'll be alright
I don't wanna live to see the day we say goodbye
D C G
When I first met you I couldn't love anyone
Em A
But you stole my dreams and you made me see that
D C
I can walk into the sun and I could still be me
And now I can't deny
Nothing lasts forever
C D Bm Am
But I don't wanna leave and see the teardrops in your eyes
So maybe while we're gone
Lets figure out together
That even with the pain there's a remedy, oh, and
We'll be alright
C D G C
I don't wanna live to see the day we say goodbye
G C
We say goodbye
G C
Oh, goodbye
G/B C G
Goodbye

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long way from my home...
