This is a song that was actually supposed to be released on an EP that would be a
preview of Lollapalooza '94. It would've been recorded in studio as the original Nirvana Trio
and probably released along with Butterfly, the other song recorded at Robert Lang
Studios. My guess is that You Know Your Right would've been left off the EP because it was too
heavy and Opinion would be on it instead, because thats the sound Kurt was aiming for at
this time and was also demoed in his last recording session. Anyway, here is the tab. Enjoy.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
If I may, and if I might,
Lie me down weeping.
And if I say what it's like,
I might be dreaming.
And if I may and what is right,
Summertime this evening.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The years in his bonnet,
The things from his pocket,
The chains from his knowing life long dream.
[Chorus 1]
Do Re Mi. x 4
[Verse 2]
If I may and if I might,
Wake me up and see me.
If I do and if I lie,
Find me how this evening.
And If I may, cold as ice,
I may have deceived me.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The ways in his socket,
The face from this moment.
The chains from his socket,
Bother me.
[Chorus 2]
Do Re Mi. x 6
[Verse 3]
Wish me good and wish me light,
Finding how seeing.
Is in their may, I just may cry,
Follow may completely.
I'm nowhere, and if I sigh,
Save me how teaming.
And if I may and if I might,
Golden gun to bleed.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Rays in his pocket,
Rays from his wallet.
Chains from his armor,
Am I deep?
[Chorus 3]
Do Re Mi. x 8
LEARNING SONG:
This is honestly pretty easy, but if you were to just pick up a guitar recently and
looking for something to play, I'd pass on this one. However, anyone with some guitar
experience could have some fun learning this, and I suggest giving a shot at it anyway,
because most of it is just power chords.
