**This chorus is played with only one strum per chord
except for G which is six eighth note strums with eighth
rests before the first and fourth strum**
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view you think that I'm insane
It's not sane It's not sane
(As the old saying goes....Everybody together!!!)
Second verse same as the first!! (I couldn't resist)
DI'll have it made E(I'll have it made)
I'll have it made (I'll have it made)
I'll have it made (I'll have it made)
You know I'm really gonna really gonna
have it made (I'll have it made)
(I'll have it made) (I'll have it made)
End with Figure one fading.
Thanks for listening....I'm outta here

Subject: "no rain" by blind melon
Hi, I was just screwing around with my guitar and I came up with an
alternate intro to blind melon's "no rain" that's not in the archive.
This one's a little more full and folky, if you like that sort of thing.
Also, this is the first time I've tried to write in rhythm. bear with
me here. The measures are kind of accurate; the spacing of the notes
kapo the scond fret. Notation is relative to the kapo (a 3 is really a 5

The the verses and solo are pretty easy. Just play what the others have
modified for a kapo (instead of E major play D major and such...)
