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!
