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:

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:

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:

Verse 1:

I'll make a shoe horn outta your shin,

I'll make a lampshade of durable skin.

And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin' able

When I'm sittin' home and I'm carvin' out your navel

I'm just a' sittin' here carvin' out your navel

Chorus/Refrain 1:

When will I realize that this skin I'm in

Hey, it isn't mine

And when will the kill be too much

meat for me to hide... on

Verse 2:

Hey, I could really use a couple of hands

To complete one hell of a plant stand

Oh, don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle

Making rib cages into coffee tables

I'm just makin' em into coffee tables

Chorus/Refrain 2:

And when will I realize that this skin I'm in

Hey, it isn't mine

And when will the trill be too much meat for me to find anymore

Oh, because

Outro:

You know I can't hide

But oh how hard I try

But this is just the shape I'm in,

Oh yeah

And though you know I can't hide

But oh how hard I try

But this is just the shape I'm in

This is one of my favorite Blind Melon songs.
