Nirvana - Nevermind Album3 guitar tab

HI! there, my name id Daniel and I've wrote some uncreditted tabs but from

now on I'll put it, this tab includes every song in the nevermind album

except " endless, nameless ", all songs were tabbed by me except

" on a plain " tabbed by jesse, and with a little help of mine.

Hope you enjoy it and if there are any corrections or if you have

any doubts e-mail my friend at "daid@nether.net" (I don't have a modem).

Well I've got nothing else to say, except that:

Kurt wasn't a hero, he was a legend; and as they say:

heroes are remembered, but legends never die

Notation Legend.-

Note.- this song doesn't sounds really good without a bass, if you

don't have one, but another friend has another guitar one can play

the guitar part and the other the bass part, which is only this

during verse, and pre-chorus, and solo I guess

(5th) A |-------------1--1--1-------------4--4--4----|in the chorus I guess

I'm so lonely but that's okay I shaved my head.

And I'm not sad.

And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard.

But I'm not sure.

I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there.

But I don't care.

I'm so horny, but that's okay. My will is good.

Repeat chorus

it doesn't affect me. The fact is,

Lyrics

I'll start this off

Without any words

I got so high that

I scratched 'til I bled

I love myself

Better than you

I know it's wrong

So what should I do?

The finest day

That I ever had

Was when I learned

To cry on command

I love myself

Better than you

I know it's wrong

So what should I do?

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

My mother died

Every night

It's safe to say

Don't quote me on that

I love myself

Better than you

I know it's wrong

So what should I do?

The black sheep got

Blackmailed again

Forgot to put

On the zip code

I love myself

Better than you

I know it's wrong

So what should I do?

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

Somewhere I have heard this before

In a dream my mem'ry has stored

As defense I'm neutered and spayed

What the hell am I trying to say?

It is now time

To make it unclear

To write off lines

That don't make a sense

I love myself

Better than you

I know it's wrong

So what should I do?

One more special

Message to go

And then I'm done

And I can go home

I love myself

Better than you

I know it's wrong

So what should I do?

I'm on a plain

I can't complain

I'm on a plain

Underneath the bridge

the trap has sprung a leak

and the animals I've trapped

have all become my pets

and I'm living of off grass

and the dripings from the ceiling

but it's okay to eat fish,

'cause they haven't any feelings (use chorus bar in this line instead of

Dad hates mom, mom hates dad
