Any correctons are welcome as this may not be 100% correct (although its
quite close.). Anyone with any more Blind Melon tabs please post them as
they were an excellent band and now sadly missed.

(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)
Are you fed up, are you fed up with me
Do you think that you could do better?
Semi Muted these 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.
