Change by Blind Melon BLIND MELON - CHANGE From the Album 'Blind Melon' (1992) Songwriters: Shannon Hoon; Brad Smith; Christopher Thorn; Glen Graham; Roger Stevens. A friend of mine introduced me to this song recently, and quickly added to my list of 'must knows'. I thought it deserved a more thorough transcription, with full lyrics and chord timings. Give the song a few listens (or check out the video on YouTube) to get a better idea of when to use the riff, lyric timing, etc. As this is my first tab contribution, please feel free to give me any feedback, positive or negative. Thanks & enjoy!
