Try note 96.356
716.2I LIKE ITPCBUOA::CHENARDWed Jun 14 1995 18:107
    I checked 96.356 - wasn't worth it.
    
    All the songs I have heard from their CD I really like.  Will probably
    get it myself.

    Going to the show at Great Woods tomorrow night.. should be good.  All
    seats were just $18.00, most likely because they are so new to this
    area, it was a sure way to fill the place.  The music is GREAT, I just
    hope they don't become another 'one hit wonder' band.

716.4excellent bandREFDV1::MURPHYSymbolic stack dump follows...Tue Oct 31 1995 13:028
    argueably, one of the best bands of the 90s.  
    I think "Not Even the Trees" is outstanding.
    The "more commercial" songs are good too.
    
    It's a must get CD.

716.5anyone got the words to this verse ?USCTR1::pelkey.ogo.dec.com::pelkeyprofessional hombreTue Feb 06 1996 17:1132
yea, 

Love these guys,  first new band to hit
the scene in years that cuts across the
grain as well as these guys do..

Everyone loves em..


I think we're gonna cover a few of the tunes
of this cd..

So here's a question, (and I'm about to loose 
my mind) about "Only wanna be with you"

I simply cannot pick out two lines in  the third
verse


 Put on a little Dylan sittin on a fence,
 I said....... and you asked me what it meant but-I
 said........  took his wife to Italy
 She inherited a million bucks, and when she died,
 came to me...


so, if someone can shed some light on the wholes in  
second/third line, cuz I'm clueless...  

Sounds like he's got rocks  in his mouth.. Jim 
Morrison  himself, couldn't have stummped me more
than hottie has here.....
716.6wish they weren't on the radio so much... :^(ALFA2::DWESTthe storyteller makes no choice...Tue Feb 06 1996 18:059
    
    Unfortunately they are rapidly becoming victims of radio overkill...
    
    i liked them when they were starting to get everyones attention 
    a while back but it's gotten to the point where a Hootie tune
    on the radio has me pushing buttons for something else...
    
    too bad...

@SONG: * ONLY WANNA BE WITH YOU
(tabbed by Steve Vetter <vetters@vax1.elon.edu>
 and Paul Hutchinson <u9343164@qub.ac.uk>)

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---|
|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0---|-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0---|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|---------------------------------|

Play that again, and then go on to...
  +   +   +   +     +   +   +   +
|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------|--5--7--9~~~~~~~~|
|/6--4------------|-----------------|
|-------6---4---4-|-6-/7-/9---------|
|-------------7---|-----------------|
|-----------------|-----------------|

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