Chord/Tab song: Skinned

Blind Melon
Skinned (song 4 off "Soup")


The rhythm is like:

V V V V
One and-uh, Two and-uh, Three and-uh, Four and-uh

The roots of the chords are played on the hard beats, except for the
Emin where the B note is played instead of the low E

I play it like:

[C]

E-----------------|
B---------1---1---|
G---------0---0---|
D---------2---2---|
A---3-------------|
E-----------------|

One and-uh
down down-up

There is a chord towards the end I called C which I don't know the
name of but the fingerings are:

C G Emin E7 Amin C

E N 3 N N N N
B 1 3 0 3 1 1
G 0 0 0 1 2 0
D 0 0 2 2 2 2
A 2 2 2 2 0 3
E N 3 N 0 N N

The C is the chord that is commonly used for transferrring a C chord
to the Amin chord. So play whatever you normally would for doing that.
