Blind Melon — St. Andrew?s Fall (Hall)
Tabbed by DSM
This is but one of the many amazing songs by Blind Melon (RIP Shannon).
I frequent this site often, and have noticed that a lot of great songs
are not yet posted. If anyone out there knows ?Mother? a.k.a. ?Mother
Earth,? or an accurate version of ?Soul One,? please post them. There?s
some interesting lead riffs in this song that I didn?t take the time
to include. This is just Shannon?s acoustic part (sounds good with
one guitar). Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this tab?listen to the
album for exact strum, timing, etc?
