HI! there, my name id isidro and I've wrote some uncreditted tabs but from
now on I'll put it, this tab includes every song in the nevermind album
except " endless, nameless ", all songs were tabbed by me except
" on a plain " tabbed by jesse, and with a little help of mine.
Hope you enjoy it and if there are any corrections or if you have
any doubts e-mail my friend at "daid@nether.net" (I don't have a modem).
Well I've got nothing else to say, except that:
Kurt wasn't a hero, he was a legend; and as they say:
heroes are remembered, but legends never die
Notation Legend.-

\ = slide down
p = pull up

Note.- this song doesn't sounds really good without a bass, if you
don't have one, but another friend has another guitar one can play
the guitar part and the other the bass part, which is only this
during verse, and pre-chorus, and solo I guess
(5th) A |-------------1--1--1-------------4--4--4----|in the chorus I guess
(6th) E |---1--1--1-------------4--4--4--------------|the bass plays this
notes with the same
rythm as the guitar
"Up until I was nine, I felt I could
become a rock staror astronaut or

Note.- In the last bar you can play (x577xx) instead of (10-12-12-x-x-x)
but however how I tabbed is how Kurt played it, I say this 'cause
I saw in the "Live tonight sold out" video of Nirvana that he
played the song like that.

here you dive with bar and play the chord
sometimes while diving until you reach the
pickups.
"I haven't felt the excitement for so
many years, I felt guilt for so many
years. I felt guilty beyond words
about these things. When we are
backstage and the lights go out and
the manic roar of the crowd begins,
it doesn't affect me. The fact is,
I can't fool you, any one of you.
It simply isn't fair to you or to me.
The worst crime I can think of would
be to (trick) people by faking it and
pretending as I were having 100% fun"

Jesse made this one for the unplugged album, so he didn't include the
beggining, so I'll put it, and the rest was done by him, so I
don't take credit for this one. The intro and "*" were made or corrected
by me, I changed that chord (it was orginally (x0222x),
I don't know if it was wrong or what, but it sounds better with this chord.
