This is the tab for the acoustic version of Pull by Blind Melon. I was very
surprized that I could not find this tab anywhere on the internet, so I decided to put
version out. This is the first tab I have ever written so bear with me. It isn't
correct, but its pretty good. At any rate it is still a really fun song to play.
Enjoy
Intro:
E--2--0---2----0------0----0-----0----0---0----------|
B--3--3---3----0------2----2-----0----0---0----------|
A--4--4---4----0------2----2-----1----1---1----------|
D--4--4---4----0------2----0-----2----0---2----------|
A--2--0---2----0------0----0-----2----0---2----------|
E--2--0---2----0------0----0-----0----0---0----------|
you'll have to figure out the struming pattern; this is just the order.
verse:
Bm A E
Bm A E E
B Gb A E*thing
E*thing
E (focusing on bottom strings)
E-----------------------------0--0--0--|...
B-----------------------------0--0--0--|....
A----------------0'1----1-----1--1--1--|...
D---0'2---2-0--------0--2--------2-----|
A-------------0---------2--------------|
E-------0------------------------------|
(0'1 just means play 0 and quickly put your finger on 1. I dont know guitar lingo)
You can get by with playing
E E E (E) (E) (E) E E E
where
(E) = E-0-
B-0-
A-1-
D-0-
A-0-
E-0-
instead of the above, and just play
around with it until it sounds more complicated. Neither one is correct,
but I get by with it)
Bm A E E
nees held arms open wide shades turn.. colors die
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/blind_melon/pull_tab.html ]
Bm A E E E E
Don't hold to tight to the real its a ...... and it will pull you down
B Gb A E*thing *
(for the last line, its best to use the E bar chord at the 7th, 2nd, 5th frets)
next verse is the same essentially
after E*thing do the B Gb A E bar chords and let the E ring out.
Then its
E----0'0--0------0--0'0--0-----------------|
B----0'0--0---3-----0'0--0----3/5--3'5'3'0-|
A----0'1--1---1-----0'1--1-----------------|
D----0'2--2---------0'2--2-----------------|
A----0'2--2---------0'2--2-----------------|
E----0'1--0---------0'0--0-----------------|
E----0'0--0------0--0'0--0----3/5--3-------|5'3'
B----0'0--0---3-----0'0--0----3/5--------3-|
A----0'1--1---1-----0'1--1-----------------|
D----0'2--2---------0'2--2-----------------|
A----0'2--2---------0'2--2-----------------|
E----0'1--0---------0'0--0-----------------|
Repeat until you want the song to end, then I play
E----0'0--0------0--0'0--0--------------0------|
B----0'0--0---3-----0'0--0----2-3-2-0----------|
A----0'1--1---1-----0'1--1------------2'1------|
D----0'2--2---------0'2--2--------------2------|
A----0'2--2---------0'2--2---------------------|
E----0'1--0---------0'0--0---------------------|
once or twice
then:
E----0'0--0------0--0'0--0--------------0---------EEEEEEE----|
B----0'0--0---3-----0'0--0----2-3-2-0---------- --E----------|
A----0'1--1---1-----0'1--1------------4-2---------EEEEE------|
D----0'2--2---------0'2--2-----------------4-2'0--E----------|
A----0'2--2---------0'2--2------------------------EEEEEEE----|
E----0'1--0---------0'0--0-----------------------------------|
(of course thats not right either, but I lost this
version of pull and I can't remember how it sounds. Just fuck around until it suits your taste)
