Hold My Hand by Hootie And The Blowfish From: devans1@osf1.gmu.edu (David A Evans) This is my first one, so you'll have to excuse any mistakes. I tabbed out the fills, but I don't have a good enough ear or enough time to tab out the solo. If someone could send it to me, I'll update the song and repost it. Like I said, this is my first time, and although I double-checked it, it may not be quite right. If you have any fixes or catch any mistakes, please e-mail me at devans1@osf1.gmu.edu and I'll be happy to fix it. If you think I did a lousy job and flame me, I'll just hit the elete key and go on with my life...
