@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

................

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 *:

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.

Play that again, and then go on to...

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)
