Blind Melon – No Rain

No Rain

It’s quite sad listening to this song sometimes. It sounds so happy but the lyrics are written by somebody so desperately clinging on for life due to their severe depression. One so strong that they would later end their life. It’s so bizarre that it has gone on to become one of those “feel good”songs from the 90s

What Are We Learning To Play?

Below is a video of what you will be able to play by the end of this post. 

Ukulele Tabs

Theres 3 separate riffs all being played onto of each other here. I guess the most notable one would be the opening bit. Use your first finger on the 2nd fret of the A string after the open notes. This will leave your other fingers free to make the chord afterwards.

A |-0--0-2-2----0--0-2-2----0--0-2-|-------------------------|
E |--------4-----------4-----------|---4--5p4h5--------------|
C |--------4-----------4-----------|-4----------6--4--2--2-4-|
G |--------------------------------|-------------------------|

A |-2----5-2----2-----5-2-----2---2-2-2-2--|
E |-4---------5-------------5-----2-2-2-0--|
C |-4--------------------------------------|
