Artist: Nirvana. Album: Nevermind (originally) also on Unplugged in New york. Tuning: Detune all strings 1/2 a step to match the cd. Note:The unplugged version is the same only it's played on an acustics. Tabbed by: Ferrau lynch and Chloe Scott Effects: A little bit of chorus and Distortion during the solo. E-mail address: immodium@ireland.com, mota_girl@ireland.com Written by: Kurt Cobain Preformed by: Nirvana This one of Nirvana's most memorable songs and it's also easy to play and sounds cool. I don't know if this is 100% tab but it sounds right to me. I don't know if theres actually another version of this going round but if there is then I've added a little bit down the bottom so that you can show off to all yer mates. I suggest you listen to the CD/TAPE to get the timings right because I havn't marked them in. There are various little fills between the chorus/verse but they are not that important (sorry kurt). Intro/verse: |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| Play 4 times for the intro |-----------------------------------| And about ten for the verse. |-----------------------------------| |---------0---0---------2---2---2---| |-0-0-1-2---2---2-2-1-0---0---0---0-| "Come as you are......." Then go onto this part. Chorus: |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| Play this bit for |-4/6---666666--4/6---66666---------| about 10 times |-4/6---666666--4/6---66666---------| |-2/4---444444--2/4---44444---------| "memoriiiiiiiiiaaaaaa.....! Now play the whole thing through again. In the second verse you only play the riff 5 times. Bridge: After that start playing these two chord about 10 times. |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-8/11---11-11-11-11----------------| |-8/11---11-11-11-11----------------| |-6/9----9--9--9--9-----------------| "Well I swear that I don't have a gun" Now comes the best part of the song. While Krist plays the verse/intro riff on the Bass Kurt Plays the solo. The solo goes a bit like this, it's fairly basic but it sounds alright |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-6~~~~~-6-9-11-6-9-11-6-9-11^14----| Play this 3 or four |-----------------------------------| Times. |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| Then repeat the chorus (mmmmmmeeeeeeeeemmmmmmooooooorrrriiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa) and after that repeat the bridge. ***************************************************************************** Top Secret - For show offs only. ***************************************************************************** My mate showed me how to play this so blame her if it sounds dodgy. She did this at a concert and it sounded great. There was the lead singer singing and playing the normal riff while she was playing along with the guys voice. here it's easier to explain in tab. Lyric bit: Verse |-----------------------------------| |--------5--------5------5-7-7_-----| |-6~~~~~------6-6---6-6-------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| |-----------------------------------| Chorus: |---------------|| |-5-------------|| |---4/6--\4_2-2-|| |---------------|| |---------------|| |---------------|| Bridge: |----------------------|| |-7--7-7--6\4----------|| |-------------7-4-7_4--|| |----------------------|| |----------------------|| |----------------------|| ********************************************************************** Tab explanation ********************************************************************** /= slide up \= slide down ^= bend to next note shown ~= Let ring _= Depress the trmolo arm till it sounds like the next note ********************************************************************** ******* If anyone who has read down this far ever had a Sega Megadrive and bought the game "COMIX ZONE" I have a challenge for you. If you have the tabs for ANY of the songs on the CD you got with it or the tabs for death is coming please send them to Me at the above address and I will be your loving friend for ever and ever and ever.
