Skinned  Blind Melon



[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]Ve[G]rs[E7]e 1[E7]:
[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]When will I [Emin]realize that this [C]skin I'm in
[Emin]Hey, it isn't mine
[C]And when will the [Emin]kill be too much
[C]meat for me to [Emin]hide... [E7]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]And when will I [Emin]realize that this [C]skin I'm in
[Emin]Hey, it isn't mine
[C]And when will the [Emin]trill be too much [C]meat for me to [Emin]find [E7]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.

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]
