Soul One
Blind Melon
from the album "Nico"

Tabbed by Ryan Morris

The song on the CD is recorded using a 12-string to give it more of a 
"full" sound, but it sounds alright on a regular six string. I didn't
include all the strumming on the tabbed parts, just those that I felt 
were a little more important, or those that "defined the sound." Lastly,
if you have any cool Blind Melon stuff (themes, rare mp3s, etc.) that
you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd really like to check them out. Thanx.
Here it is...Enjoy!

e--------------------------3p2-------------|
b----------------------3--------3--3/5~----|

Using your ring finger on the initial slide makes the rest alot easier.

The song ends with a neat little riff, Fill 2.

Fill 2:
e------------------------------|
