Blind Melon

Best Of Blind Melon

Soup

Blind Melon is an American rock band most known for their success in the 1990s.  Reportedly, the name &quot;Blind Melon&quot; describes some hippies from Mississippi, as used (or coined) by Brad Smith's father. Also, &quot;Blind Melon Chitlin&quot; was the name of a fictional bluesman appearing in a routine on the self-titled Cheech and Chong LP. These may be derivative of the name of an actual bluesman, Blind Lemon Jefferson.

1ST VERSE:

A                              G
  I don't feel the sun's commin out today 
       D              G            A
Stayin in, it's gonna find another way.
A                     G
As I sit here in this misery, 
        D                        G
I don't think I'll ever know lord, 
                 A
See the sun from here.

D       G             A   
   And oh, as I fade away.  
D              G              A
   They'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,
D                 G           A
 Hey look at him, I'll never live that way.

2ND VERSE:

A                                  G
And When you feel life ain't worth livin'
                          D
You've gotta stand up and take a look around you 
     G                  A
Then look way up to the sky.
A                                  G
And when your deepest thoughts are broken
        D                                G
Keep on dreamin boy, cause when you stop dreamin
            A
It's time to die.

D               G                 A
  And as we all play the darts of tomorrow
D                G                         A
  Some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
D               G                   A
  But I know we can't all stay here forever
             G        D                        A
So I want to write my words on the face of the day,

 (and then they'll paint it).

This is my first tab on here so tell me if there's anything wrong. You can play the intro either way, but I think it sounds better if you can work the E chord into it smoothly. 

Also, I thought it would be pointless to transcribe all the chords to words again so I copied them from a previous post (can I do that?) Thanks Marra!

Am             C            G      F           Am C G F
Around and over and in-between the seas 
Am          C         G             F
I need to be on top of a mountain 
Am      C                      G        F
Where I can be see everything 
Am              C            G
Cause this paranoia's getting old 

             Am C       G           F     Am C G F
Now as I open my eyes to start another day 
            Am     C
I'm in a pile of puke 
          G         F                    
Empty bag of execuses 
     Am   C                   G       F let ring
My love for friends and family 
F let ring
you know I need them 
                            
And under a sun that's seen it all before 
Am let ring         
My feet are so cold                               
And I can't believe that I have to bang my head against this wall again              
But the blows they have just a little more space in-between them           
Gonna take a breath and try, try again.

Walk

It subsequently helped propel Blind Melon to a multi-platinum level.  The song is the band's highest-charting song, reaching #20 on the pop charts, and #1 on both the Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.

Couldn't Stand The Weather

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

Intro -- Dm

Dm                       F
This is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
I called the dogs off all the things I?m missing

       Bb
And to everyone but you before I set sail


       G          Eb         Bb
I said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm                         F
This is the song where you speak up

Bb                             G
This is the song where you get moving

    Dm                            F
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup

       Bb
And to me but no-one else before you threw it



         G          Eb         Bb
You said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times 

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm F Bb G (4 times)


Dm                            F
I put ashore in front of our apartment

    Bb                                       G
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain

     Dm                                         F
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence

          Bb
And after this I promise not to interrupt again


      Dm                       F
Cause this is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking

        Bb
And the song is just I love you and always will


G          Eb         Bb
Good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck

This Is The Song

E                              B                 A
I don't have much to give, but I don't care for gold
A           G#             F#m                     E
What use is money, when you need someone to hold
E                              B               A
Don't have direction I'm just rolling down this road
A           G#             F#m                     E
Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
   F#m                               B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                            A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                            A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A       E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

E                               B              A
We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
A       A/G#                F#m         E
I'm in love with you and you will never know
E                              B             A
But if I can't have you I'll walk this life alone
A              G#              F#m            E
Spare you the rising storms and let the river flow

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
    F#m                              B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                             A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                           A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

Leave Your Lover

Here's the melody of this amazing song, have fun!

Sad Machine

F#m              A            E
Waited for your call, for the moon
   F#m                  A           E
To release me from the longest afternoon
     F#m               A            E  
I've re-arranged parts of my living room
     Bm                              D                                   
But time is hard to kill since I met you



    F#m            A                  E 
I'm looking at the cars that drive on by
      F#m              A           E 
While spring is making promise outside
F#m                A         E     
Red cars are quite rare I realise
       Bm                      D
Then I wonder which colour you like



A
Seven little numbers
       E
Baby, they could be a start
F#m
Seven little numbers
       D
Baby, I know yours by heart




F#m       A         E                                   F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could be
          A           E                          F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
          A             E                                        Bm
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
              D                  F#m                  
These numbers could be lucky for you


(Break)


F#m                  A             E
Watch the sky change to a darkened blue
  F#m                   A         E
I can't think of another thing to do
    F#m             A                 E 
And every song just makes me think of you
            Bm           
Because the singers sounds as if she was longing,
       D
As if she was longing, too


A
Seven little numbers
       E
Baby, they could be a start
F#m
Seven little numbers
       D
Baby, I know yours by heart
A
Seven little numbers
      E
Baby they could make a change
F#m
Seven little numbers
                  D
Make a fire out of this flame



F#m       A         E                                   F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could be
          A           E                          F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
