St Andrews Fall

Song

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?

Standard Tuning
