Skinned Lyrics

Blind Melon
Skinned (song 4 off "Soup")
The rhythm is like:
V V V V
One and-uh, Two and-uh, Three and-uh, Four and-uh
The roots of the chords are played on the hard beats, except for the
Emin where the B note is played instead of the low E
I play it like:
One and-uh
down down-up
There is a chord towards the end I called C** which I don't know the
name of but the fingerings are:
E N 3 N N N N
E N 3 N 0 N N
The C** is the chord that is commonly used for transferrring a C chord
to the Amin chord. So play whatever you normally would for doing that.
Intro:
Verse 1:
I'll make a shoe horn outta your shin,
I'll make a lampshade of durable skin.
And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin' able
When I'm sittin' home and I'm carvin' out your navel
I'm just a' sittin' here carvin' out your navel
Chorus/Refrain 1:
in
When will I realize that this skin I'm in
in
Hey, it isn't mine
in
And when will the kill be too much
in
meat for me to hide... on
Verse 2:
Hey, I could really use a couple of hands
To complete one hell of a plant stand
Oh, don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle
Making rib cages into coffee tables
I'm just makin' em into coffee tables
Chorus/Refrain 2:
in
And when will I realize that this skin I'm in
in
Hey, it isn't mine
in
And when will the trill be too much
in
meat for me to find anymore
Oh, because
Outro:
You know I can't hide
in
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in,
Oh yeah
And though you know I can't hide
in
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in
This is one of my favorite Blind Melon songs.
