Nirvana - Sappy (aka Versus Chorus Verse)

I think it's more accurate then the ones I've seen...

Normal Tuning.

Words and Music by: Kurt Cobain

Transcribed by: Sem van Blerkem

*Verse*:

And if you save yourself

You will make him happy

He'll keep you in a jar

And you'll think you're happy

He'll give you breathing holes

And you'll think you're happy

He'll cover you with dust

And you'll think you're happy now

*Verse*:

And if you kill yourself

You will think you're happy

He'll keep you in a jar

Then you'll think you're happy

He'll give you breathing holes

Then you'll think you're happy

He'll cover you with dust

Then you'll think you're happy now

You're in a laundry room

*Chorus*:

You're in a laundry room

You're in a laundry room

The clue that came to you, oh

*Verse*:

And if you fool yourself

You will make him happy

He'll keep you in a jar

Then you'll think you're happy

He'll give you breathing holes

Then you'll seem happy

You'll wallow in the shit

Then you'll think you're happy now

*Chorus*:

You're in a laundry room

You're in a laundry room

The clue that came to you, oh

*Kurt ends the song with*:

Comments and suggestions to: Anne (fhelmond@inter.nl.net)

title: "sappy"

(i'm sure some of you know this as "verse chorus verse". it was an

earlier recording, 1988 i believe)

artist: kurt cobain

disc: "live and demos," "unhappy," etc.

tuning: standard, i believe. may be tuned down a half step

(Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)

effects: none what so ever; in fact, it sounds best on an acoustic guitar,

as that's how it was recorded. if doing it on an electric, i suggest turning

the tone down for a lower sound, not as crisp.

chorus:

E-|------------------------------------------------------------%--------------|

B-|-----0-----0----0---0---------------------------------------%--------------|

G-|----------------------------------------------------------2-%--------------|

..i know this is a really "incomplete" tab, but i'm clueless as to what the

chorus is. anyway, here're the words:

verse one:

and if you save your friends, you will make her happy.

and if you do what's told, you will make me happy.

i'll keep you in a jar, and you will seem happy.

i'll give you breathing holes, you will think you're happy, now..

chorus:

you're in a laundry room.. you're in a laundry room.. you're in a laundry

room..

verse two:

and if you save yourself, you will make him happy.

i'll bring you fire and wars, and you will feel happy..

i'll keep you in a room, i'm sure you'll be happy..

and if you save what's old, you will think you're happy, now..

that's it. questions/comments/criqtiques?
