play riff1 while Shannon says
"hair raising shake you're much too late
you should have jumped a couple cars before
now if i may i'll walk away
i'm selling silly putty door to door
and up on the shelf it seems to help
if i can keep a little bit of disease"

then play:
E - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - -
B - - - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - -

once and return to riff 1
the bridge part goes:
D - - - X - 3 3 3 - X - - - - - - - - - -
A - - - X - - - - - X 1 - 1 - 3 - - - - - and repeat
E - 3 3 - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 1 1 -
the solo is a bunch of E-bow slides and stuff, uncharacteristicly simple for
Blind Melon, because they usually have a fast complex solo in there
somewhere, and anyway it probably won't sound right if you are like me and
don't have an E-bow, so I'm-a-leavin' it out, but here's the other guitar's part
during the solo:
G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
D - 3 - - - - - - - - - - X - 3 - - - 3 - - - - - - - - - - - X - - - 1 - +repeat
A - - - - - - - - - - - - X - - - - - - - 1 - 1 1 1 - 1 1 1 - X - 3 - - -
E - - 1 - 1 1 1 - 1 1 1 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
There's probably some small stuff missing in this transcription, but you can
probably figure it out on your own if you listen close.
"May Shannon Hoon's spirit rest in peace forevermore, and let the beauty
that is Blind Melon shine down on all the good people of Earth and fill them
with it's glorious cosmic energy." - oath of the Devout Melonhead
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.
