"Downer" -- Nirvana
Starts off with bass doing:
E-----0-0-0-0-0-8-8-8--0-0-0-0-0-8-8-8-----
(It sound chopped up, as does most of the song, because the entire thing
was dubbed over top of itself with a short delay.)
Then the gitter comes in:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/n/nirvana/downer_tab.html ]
E------------5-------------------5-----------
B--2---------5---------2---------5-----------
G--2---------5---------2---------5-----------
D--2---------5---------2---------5-----------
A--2---------3---------2---------3-----------
E--0-------------------0---------------------
The verse is bass only, doing the same the intro stuff.
On "Fight!", the gitter comes in again:
D---10\-|---------------------------------------|
A---10\-|--5--6-7-6--5-6-7-6--5--6-7-6--5-6-7-6-| the last measure is played
E----8\-|---------------------------------------| twice
Then the gitter does this (in sync w/the bass):
G------------5-5-5------------5-5-5---
D--2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5--2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5---
A--2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3--2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3---
E--0-0-0-0-0--------0-0-0-0-0---------
Then it goes into the chorus ("Somebody served a dinner..."):
G------------8----9--------------8----9----
D--7----8----8----9----7----8----8----9----
A--7----8----6----7----7----8----6----7----
E--5----6--------------5----6--------------
...and the rest follows these segments, and ends abruptly on an E power chord.
