Big Long Now

(by Kurdt Kobain)

This depressing song is off of -Incesticide-. I think it was cutely and

perfectly written not just for simplicity but for the feel of it. I do

not know. The verse riff is:

E ---------------

B ---------------

G -------------0- this is played over and over again. The unopen strings

D -----0--------- are played palm muted while the open string are played

A ---8---8---8--- normally.

E -9-------9-----

The song goes:

(Riff)

It~s not cold enough

Please put his side up

She is moon gray

Bb5 A5 G#5 (Riff)

Can we show our faces now

I~m not in a string

She~s not turning gray

Simple as it seems

Bb5 A5 G#5 (Riff)

Can we show our faces now

D5 C#5

Endless climb!

D5 C#5 G5

I am blind

D5 C#5

Why canUy I eat

D5 C#5 G5

Call a lie

D5 C#5

Speaking a phrase

D5 C#5 G5

Instantly grown

D5 C#5

Lord I~m blind

D5 C#5 G5 F#5 F5 F5

Waiting in line

(Riff)

This continues on for another verse and chorus and that is basically the

whole song.

The chords are:

E A D G B E

-----------

Bb5 6 8 8 x x x

A5 5 7 7 x x x

G#5 4 6 6 x x x

D5 x 5 7 7 x x

C#5 x 4 6 6 x x

This was pretty simple to work out, the main riff only uses four notes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Listen to the recording and work out the timing.

For the chorus it's B barred at the 7th fret to E also barred at the 7th

fret.

If anyone can work out the words to this PLEASE can you email them

to me on swelsh@plymouth.ac.uk

A quick word :

I have seen people trying to sell T Shirts with pictures of Kurts dead

body on it. I don't know if suicide is justified but making money out of

it certainly IS NOT so please don't.
