Soul One by Blind Melon

Tabbed by: Ian McNaught (Pearlincubus)

Tuning: standard

This is another great song by an underappreciated band.  I pretty sure
its played on a twelve string but it still sounds great on a six 
string.  I only have the main guitar here, if you want the other
guitar just improvise in E and it will sound cool.  The intro/verse 
riff is awesome and its really what carries the song I think.  Also 
just listen for the strum pattern for the fills/bridge...its pretty 
easy to get.  Too bad more people dont realize how good they really
were...

How come, girl was there when I needed one
How come, girl was there when the song is done
Some say, open your eyes to a brighter light
Okay, open my arms, they were right

She was my soul one
She felt like she was the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes	
She was my soul one

Inside, pain in my heart often made her cry
Outside, I cursed the birds in the sugar sky
How long take to realize she's the one
How long until I find my lost and lonely soul one

She was my soul one
She felt like the only one
She was the sun, the sky blue eyes
She was my soul one

Should of never taken the time
'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie
You said you left to find yourself
But I never, no I never got a chance to say goodbye.

She was my soul one
I thought she was the only one
I thought she was...
