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...)

Dmaj

|--------3--3-/5-|--------3--3-/5-|--------3--3-/5-|---------3---2--|

|----------------|-3_____---------|-3_____---------|--3----3--------|

|----------------|----------------|----------------|-----2----------|

|----------------|----------------|----------------|--0------2-2----|

|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

Cmaj Dmaj Cmaj

|-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...)
