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

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.
