Skinned by Blind Melon - Guitar Chords

Version 1
            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 official 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.
