Biography:
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

NEW LIFE by Blind Melon
Written by Glen Graham, Brad Smith, Shannon Hoon, Christopher Thorn, and Rogers Stevens
Chords transcribed by Brad Golden
Note: these are what chords happen when they do in the song, and only works for solo acoustic performance.
BM never performed this acoustically as far as I know and may have never played this song live at all since
Thorn has stated in an interview there are a couple of songs from Soup that have never been performed live.
[Verse 1]
N.C.
One!.... Two!...
A G
Suddenly everything is fainting
A G
Falling from a broken ladder's rung
A G
There's a jolt exhilarating from the phone I'm holding
A C
I hear the words of what I'll become
A C
How eager the hands that reach for love
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D F A
'Cause now there's a new life to behold
D F A C
And it's the biggest part of my life to unfold
[Chorus 1]
G A F G A F
Aw yeah!
D F G A F G A
'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
F D F G A F G
And a faithful father I am to be
A F D F G A F G
When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
A F G E
Will it bring new life into me?
[Verse 2]
A G
Deep inside must defy arrangement
A G
I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now
A G
And I'll always try to justify the way I have been behaving
A C
Should I teach one not to know how?
A C
How to live in a world we live in now
[Pre-Chorus 2]
D F A
'Cause there's a beautiful life to behold
D F A C
And it's the biggest part of my life to unfold
[Chorus 2]
G A F G A F
Aw yeah!
D F G A F G A
'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
F D F G A F G
And a father figure I am to be
A F D F G A F G
When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
A F D F
Will it bring new life into me?
[Verse 3] (double-time)
A D F A
Oh, please! Oh, please! Oh, please!

Bring in new life, bring in new life
