Artist: Blind Melon

Album: Nico

Song: Letters From a Porcupine

Transcription by: Guy Buttery

The song is BASICALLY three chords (being E, G, D) but there a few

changes

here and there!

The intro is played twice the speed (tempo) of the actual verse!

Intro: (besides Shannon's "do do do" thingy)

E | G | D (after the D chord, he strums the 1st, 2nd and

3rd strings open

through-out the song for about a

quarter of the timing)

E

Underlying

G D

Oh, so more important here

E

Any kind

G D

Oh, what ever shakes your thrill

E

Mark my face

G D

The air is really heavy now

E (let ring)

I pledge allegiance so God why don't you come over here

The other change of the song is between the 2nd and 3rd verse, like

this:

C E | C D | C E G (ring) | E G | E G D

Continue with E G D for the 3rd verse

That's basically the song! I'm not too sure if it's all right, but

sounds okay.

The D chord in the verse sounds like it has a hammer-on (being Dsus4

000233)

but sounds better with the open playing.

Enjoy!

Thanks for creating a brilliant webpage devoted to some brilliant

people!!
