Blind Melon is a rock band from Los Angeles, United States. They were active from 1989 to 1999, and then from 2006 onward.
Best remembered for their 1993 single "No Rain", the group enjoyed critical and commercial success in the early 1990s with their neo-psychedelic take on alternative rock. The 1995 death of lead vocalist Shannon Hoon halted the band's activity, and the members went on hiatus until officially disbanding in 1999. The band reformed with new lead vocalist Travis Warren in 2006

Artist: Blind Melon Song: Soul One (as heard on Nico)
Transcribed by: Rob Coyle
This is an amazing song...I highly recommend this CD to anyone and everyone, even though it got horrible reviews...Anyway, these are just the chords...To get the right sound, strum the chord and then pick the chord....its two guitars on the CD, but you get the feel of the song this way as well. This is all by ear, so if something isn't working for you, write back and I'll change it, but I think this is pretty close to the real thing...

Lyrics
How come, girl was there when I needed one How come, girl was there when the song is done Some say, open your eyes to a brighter light Okay, open my arms they were right
She was my soul one She left she was the only one She was the sun, the sky blue eyes She was my soul one
Inside, pain in my heart often made her cry Outside, I cursed the birds and the sugar sky How long, take to realize she's the one How long, until I find my last and lonely soul one
She was my soul one She left she was the only one She was the sun, the sky blue eyes She was my soul one
Should of never taken the time 'Cause I found myself living a lonely lie You said, you left to find yourself But I never, no I never got the chance to say goodbye
She was my soul one I thought she was the only one I thought she was . . .
