Time

from the album Blind Melon Words by Shannon Hoon Music by Blind Melon transcribed by Travis Miguez (tre@unixg.ubc.ca) Other transcriptions done by me: Still Remains -S.T.P. All the Things I Wasn't - Grapes of Wrath *Blind Melon riffs are hard to transcribe so I just did the bulk of the song so it sounds good if you play it on an acoustic guitar. The end of the song is anybody's guess and I have never heard it done the same way twice so improvise or just end it on the Am chord.
