Change - Blind Melon
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
BLIND MELON - CHANGE
From the Album 'Blind Melon' (1992)
Songwriters: Shannon Hoon; Brad Smith; Christopher Thorn; Glen Graham; Roger
Stevens.
A friend of mine introduced me to this song recently, and quickly added to my list
of 'must knows'. I thought it deserved a more thorough transcription, with full
lyrics and chord timings. Give the song a few listens (or check out the video on
YouTube) to get a better idea of when to use the riff, lyric timing, etc.
As this is my first tab contribution, please feel free to give me any feedback,
positive or negative.
Thanks & enjoy!

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I don't feel
the sun's com
min out today
Stayin in, it'
s gonna find a
nother way.
As I sit here
in this misery
,
I don't think
I'll ever know
lord,
See the sun fr
om here.
[Chorus]
And oh, as
I fade away.
They'll all
look at me an
d say, and the
y'll say,
Hey look at h
im, I'll never
live that way
.
But thats ok,
They're just
afraid of chan
ge.
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
And When you f
eel life ain't
worth livin'
You've gotta s
tand up and ta
ke a look arou
nd you
Then look way
up to the sky.
And when your
deepest though
ts are broken
Keep on dreami
n boy, cause w
hen you stop d
reamin
It's time to d
ie.
And as we al
l play parts o
f tomorrow
Some ways wi
ll work and ot
her ways we'll
play.
But I know w
e can't all st
ay here foreve
r
So I want to w
rite my words
on the face of
the day,
(and then they'll paint it).

[Out-Chorus]
And oh as I
fade away,
They'll all
look at me an
d say, and the
y'll say,
Hey look at
him and where
he is these d
ays,
When life is h
ard you have t
o change.
When life is h
ard you have t
o change.
Ooohhh, Hmmm,
Hmmm, Hmmm
