Subject: "no rain" by blind melon
Hi, I was just screwing around with my guitar and I came up with an
alternate intro to blind melon's "no rain" that's not in the archive.
This one's a little more full and folky, if you like that sort of thing.
Also, this is the first time I've tried to write in rhythm. bear with
me here. The measures are kind of accurate; the spacing of the notes
isn't.)
kapo the scond fret. Notation is relative to the kapo (a 3 is really a 5
and such...)

|-0--------------|---------3---2--|-0--------------| repeat one more
|---3---1----3-1-|--3----3--------|---3---1----3-1-| time (the rhythm
|-----2----------|-----2----------|-----2----------| is practically
|-0--------2-----|--0------2-2----|-0--------2-----| immortal) & then
|-------3------3-|----------------|-------3------3-| your guess is as
|----------------|----------------|----------------| good as mine. Try
something based
on the other tabs
posted here!
The the verses and solo are pretty easy. Just play what the others have
modified for a kapo (instead of E major play D major and such...)
