"Time" Blind Melon From the album Blind Melon Words by Shannon Hoon Music by Blind Melon
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.
(Like Intro) So Long So Long, Bye.
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
Fill 1
Oooooh
Repeat Ooooh part
Guitar like Intro Part with the C fill (i.e. the ooooh part)
All these people here they won't Leave me alone and we Need a little time to ourselves
And half the reasons why I'm Sketchin all the time The result of this life in hell
F (N.C.)-let F ring But oh well, I think its time
/ 1 & & 3
My faith is falling like the Leaves from a tree The pockets both take it away
The sun warms my body as I'm Sitting on a swing watchin' Columbus clouds bring in the rain
F (N.C.)-let F ring But Oh well, I think its time
(Riff 1 four times (timing for words follow chord pattern)) (Am) (F) (E) (Am)...... its time to go
Chorus
(1 3 ) (1 2 3 4) - Strumming Pattern My mind is playing tricks on Me all the time To let you know that I am real
And all the worries you build Up inside your soul The ones that make your world stand still..
(N.C.) - (let E ring) Mean you can feel
(Riff 1) x 4 -lyric timing as above That its time to go (on first time)
(Am) x3 (E)
Are you fed up, are you fed up with me Do you think that you could do better?
Partly Muted Chords: Five fed up faces with the Itch to kill the king Blood red sunrise and a breath to air that's clean
I drink from the faucet from the Porch I take a pee. I (A) (E) C - loud Look at you through the bushes, where you can't see me
Chorus
I laugh and slip into Another state of mind To let you know that I am real
And all the worries that build Up inside your soul The ones that make your world stand still....
(N.C.)-let E ring Mean you can feel
(Riff 1) That its time to go.
