Semi-Charmed Life By: David Harrison (blaze@interlog.com) Song: "Semi-Charmed Life" by "Third Eye Blind" Album: "Third Eye Blind" The Verse/Chorus riff is used a lot of different ways in this song. It's played normal like I've shown below; it's played with a palm mute; and it's played with a slightly different strumming pattern. I'll leave it up to you to figure out which way to play it at different times but the only part where the strumming really changes is near the end in the outro.
