Now repeat the verses again for verse 2, but instead of taking the chorus
again, play this:

     (Repeat 3 times)
      A5             F5               D7

Guitar solo time!  During this part, play the first four bars of the chorus,
then end with this:

   A           F5            D5                  A           F5

Near the end already!  Now just go back and play verse 3, then play the
chorus as written, but on
the third repeat of the chorus play only the first three bars (don't play the
3rd ending!!)  Instead,
jump to the following and play to the end:

                              (play 3 times)
   D7                           F                          D7

ROOPTROOP

P.S. I FINALLY GOT HIS SUICIDE NOTE IN IT'S ENTIRITY HERE IT IS

To  Boddah  pronounced

Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would
rather be an emasculated, infantile camplainee.  This note should be pretty
easy to understand.  All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses
over the years.  Since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics
involved with independence and the embracement of your community has proven
to be
very true. I haven't felt the exitement of listening to as well as creating
music along with reading and writing for too many years now.  I feel guilty
beyond words about these things.  For example when we're backstage and the
lights go out and the manic roar of the crowd begins it doesn't affect the
way in
which it did for Freddy Mercury who seemed to love. (?) relish in the love
and
adoration from the crowd.  Which is something  I totally admire and
envy. The fact is  I can't fool you.  Any one of you.  It simply isn't fair
to
you or me.  The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by
faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100 % fun.  Sometimes I feel as if
I
should have a punch in time clock before I walk out on stage.  I've
tried everything within my power to appreciate it, (and I do. God, believe me
I do but it's not enough.
I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot
of people.  I must be one of one of those narcissists who only appreciate
things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive.  I need to be slightly numb in
order to regain the enthusiasm I once had as a child.  On our last three
tours
I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally
and as fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the
guilt and empathy I have for everyone.  There's good in all of us and I think
I simply love people too much.  So much that it makes me feel too fucking
sad. The sad little, sensitive, unappreciative, pisces, Jesus man!  Why don't
you just enjoy it?  I don't know.  I have a goddess of a wife who sweats
ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what I used to
be.
Full of love and joy kissing every person she meets because everyone is
good and will do her no harm.  And that terrifies me to the point to where I
can barely function.  I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the
miserable self-destructive, death rocker that I've become.
	
I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven I've
become hateful
towards
all humans in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get
along, and have empathy.  Empathy!  Only because I love and feel for people
too
much I guess. Thank you all from the pit of my burning nauseous stomach for
your letters and concern during the past years.  I'm too much of an erratic,
moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore and so remember, its better to
burn out than to fade away.  peace, love, empathy.
Kurt Cobain

Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your alter.
Please keep going Courtney

For Frances
For her life which will be so much happier without me.   I Love you.
I love you!
