All the Things I Wasn't - Grapes of Wrath *Blind Melon riffs are hard to transcribe so I just did the bulk of the song so it sounds good if you play on an acoustic guitar. The end of the song is anybody's guess and I have never heard it done the same twice so improvise or just end it on the Am chord.
