Blind Melon
Skinned (song 4 off "Soup")
Transcribed by Thomas Fieno
The rhythm is like:
V V V V
One and-uh, Two and-uh, Three and-uh, Four and-uh
The roots of the chords are played on the hard beats,
except for the Emin where the B note is played
instead of the low E
I play it like:
C
E-----------------|
B---------1---1---|
G---------0---0---|
D---------2---2---|
A---3-------------|
E-----------------|
One and-uh
down down-up
There is a chord towards the end I called C** which I
don't know the official name of but the fingerings are:
C** G Emin E7 Amin C
E N 3 N N N N
B 1 3 0 3 1 1
G 0 0 0 1 2 0
D 0 0 2 2 2 2
A 2 2 2 2 0 3
E N 3 N 0 N N
The C** is the chord that is commonly used for
transferrring a C chord to the Amin chord. So
play whatever you normally would for doing that.
Intro:
G G E7 E7
Verse 1:
G
I'll make a shoe horn outta your shin,
G
I'll make a lampshade of durable skin.
E7
And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin' able
E7
When I'm sittin' home and I'm carvin' out your navel
G
I'm just a' sittin' here carvin' out your navel
Chorus/Refrain 1:
C Emin C
When will I realize that this skin I'm in
Emin
Hey, it isn't mine
C Emin
And when will the kill be too much
C Emin E7
meat for me to hide... on
Verse 2:
G
Hey, I could really use a couple of hands
G
To complete one hell of a plant stand
E7
Oh, don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle
E7
Making rib cages into coffee tables
G
I'm just makin' em into coffee tables
Chorus/Refrain 2:
C Emin C
And when will I realize that this skin I'm in
Emin
Hey, it isn't mine
C Emin C Emin E7
And when will the trill be too much meat for me to find anymore
Oh, because
Outro:
C
You know I can't hide
Amin
But oh how hard I try
C C** G
But this is just the shape I'm in,
Oh yeah
C
And though you know I can't hide
Amin
But oh how hard I try
C C** G
But this is just the shape I'm in
This is one of my favorite Blind Melon songs.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BLIND MELON tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
