You Got To Believe
---------------------------
words and music by Dan Hicks
-----------------------------

This is the best I could come up with, given my limited guitar skills.
I've noticed from watching the tape of Dan on Austin City Limits a few
years ago, Dan uses a few moveable chord shapes that he sticks to pretty 
regularly:

    A7   A7   A13     D7 
   
e---5----x-----5------x------
b---5----5-----7------3------
g---6----6-----6------5------
d---5----5-----5------4------
a---x----x-----x------5------
e---5----5-----5------x------

Dan uses his thumb to hold down the low E sting and mute the A string.

The A7 can be moved up 2 frets to become B7, down 1 to become Ab7,etc.
The D7 can also be moved (+2=E7, +4=F#7)
There are several place where D9, E9 could substituted for D7, E7
whatever sounds good to you. You might also want to experiment with
muting the high E string on the A7 shape. 

The album is actually up half a step from these chords, so if you
want to play in the same key as the album, you might want to capo
the 1st fret, an open E string on a 6th postion chord sounds pretty
nasty :-)
