"Hollow" by Better Than Ezra
From the album - ?
as performed at House of Blues Hollywood Webcast 10/9/99
Words and Music by Kevin Griffin
Tabbed by Shari Todd (sflipper_bte@yahoo.com)
   
Note:  I am fuzzy on a lot of the lyrics, hence the judicious use of the 
blanks...The lyrics have been different every time I've seen this song performed,
and like other songs, I'm sure they will continue to change until we hopefully
see Hollow on the next album.

This represents a feeble attempt by an amateur guitarist - if anyone has any 
better ideas or comments, please email me!

..Typical disclaimer, yadda yadda...
