Nirvana

Nirvana - Pennyroyal Tea bass tab

Song Title: Pennyroyal Tea

Artist: Nirvana

Album: In Utero (this version is infinitely better than the Unplugged one)

Tabbed by: Alexandre Lima (rb.moc.1sitarg@gratis1.com.br)

Last tab in BTA by: Bass Master (bassmaster@juno.com)

Tuning: Standard

Notation:

() - ghost notes (of course they aren't there, but it's cool to play them)

/, \ - slide up and down

**** - the notes above this should be octaved.

I think it's hard to play w/o an octaver pedal.

This is what I hear when I hear this song:

(You should hear it too :)
