NOTE: I set this as advanced because it's difficult to get
every detail when playing it. This is almost dead-on with the recording.
Blew is my favorite song of all-time, so I tried to get everything as close
as possible. Also, right before the guitar kicks in there is a sharp
feedback screech, which can be achieved by a 3rd fret harmonic, if you do
it right. This songs sounds best if you use a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal,
like what Kurt used on Bleach:

LYRICS:
Oh, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to blew
And if you wouldn't mind, I would like to lose
Oh, if you wouldn't care, I would like to leave
Oh, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to breathe
Is there another reason for your stain?
Could you believe who we knew was stress and strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame!
Uh, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to blew
Oh, if you wouldn't mind, I would like to lose
And if you wouldn't care, I would like to leave
And if you wouldn't mind, I would like to breathe
Is there another reason for your stain?
Could you believe who we knew was stress and strain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame!
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
You could do anything
Well, there you go. Also, I might update this from time to time as I am constantly
small things to make this sound better when I play it...
