Hold My Hand Chords

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...

I originally figured this out way up the neck, but it
is played near the nut.  You can substitue the alternate
chords and what you get will sound pretty close to
the recorded version.
