Time  Blind Melon

from the album Blind Melon
Words by Shannon Hoon
Music by Blind Melon
transcribed by Travis Miguez (tre@unixg.ubc.ca)
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.

(Strum Pattern like first 2 bars above but with E in second bar)
[Am]My faith is [E]falling like the
leaves from a tree
[Am]The pockets [E]both take it [C]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
[D]My mind is [A]playing tricks on
me all the time
[D]To let you [A]know that I am[E] 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 (strum)
(Am) x3 (E)
 
 Base part: ------- ----------------
 ---0-2- -----x-----x----
 -0----- -2-2-x-2-2-x-2-2
 ------- ----------------

Are you fed up, are you fed up with me
Do you think that you could do better?
Partly Muted Chords:
[(A)]Five fed up [(E)]faces with the
itch to kill the king
[(A)]Blood red [(E)]sunrise and a [(C)]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 2 (Play like chorus 1)
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.
