Change (mandolin) tab by Blind Melon

Tabs

• Submitter: Apollonia93
• Tuning: Standard tuning

The mandolin tab for Blind Melon`s Change, from their debut album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yn1WbBaWTdc

The song features an acoustic and an electric guitar, a harmonica and a mandolin. The latter does not kick in
until the first chorus, but the first verse and all the rhythm sections would be played the same on the
mandolin as they were on guitar and therefore I transposed them.
