Artist: Blind Melon
Song Title: Mouthful of Cavities
Album: Soup

This is one of the greatest acoustic songs written
during the 90s in my opinion.  I really miss Blind Melon
and Shannon of course.  Hope everyone enjoys this tab
as much as I have enjoyed tabbing it out.  Really great
song and this is pretty accurate.

Standard Tuning eadgbe

This is how the verses go:

                 Em                   C/B               C9
E --------0---0---0--------0----0---0-----0----0-----0-------0---------------------
B --------0---0---0--------0----0---0-----3----3-----3p0-----0------0---0---0---0---
G --------0---0---0--------0----0---0-----0----0-----0-------0----4---3---2---0-----
D ----2---2---2---2--------2----2---2-----2----2-----2-------2----------------------
A ----------------------3--3----3---3-----3----3-----3-------3-----------------------

                Em                C/B             C9     C         D9sus4
E -------0---0--0---------0----0---0----0-----0-----/-0--0----0----/--0--0---------
B -------0---0--0---------0----0---0----3-----1----/--3--3----1----/--3--3---------
G -------0---0--0---------0----0---0----0-----0----/--0--0----0---/---0--0---------

A --------------------3---3----3---3----3-----3--/----5--5----3-/-----5--5---------
E ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just repeat this part over and over through all the verses.  Listen to the cd to get the rhythm right.

Then it goes into the heavier portion of the song which is very basic.

          E5               C5               D5 C5  D5    C5   D5
E -------------------------------------------------------------------

G -----------------5--5--5--5---7--5----/-7--7---5--/--7--7-----
D ---2--2---2--2---5--5--5--5---7--5---/--7--7---5--/--7--7-----
A ---2--2---2--2---3--3--3--3---5--3--/---5--5---3-/---5--5------
E ---0--0---0--0----------------------------------------------------

That?s basically it.

Lyrics

Mouth full of cavities,
And your soul?s a bowl of jokes.
And every day you remind me,
Of how I?m despirately in need.

See I?ve got a lot of things around,
And they?re peeking through nothing new.
And they see you,
They see everything you do, feeling new.

Shannon Hoon shall live in our hearts, minds, and souls forever.
