Tabbed by: leech3
This song is awesome. I tabbed the whole song, there is nothing missing!
It is accurate I believe, except for a few notes from the intro and a few bits at the end.
There are two guitars playing through the song, except for the intro, and even a third
I tabbed the third guitar separately since it plays the solo and some loud overdubs, but
two other play almost the same thing so I was unable to distinguish them. It's just
variations mostly.
Standard Tuning.
The song has numerous parts and is quite long, so here's the structure
and below i have tabbed each part separately.

x2 (the whole thing)
The second guitar plays the same riff one octave deeper, but it is slightly morphed. It
more like a bass line actually, but played by the guitar.
It's quite quiet and I haven't bothered to figure it out exactly.

Solo (03:51)
The two guitars still play the first part of Bridge B ad lib during the solo.
The solo is very much "cobain-like", so it's quite simple. Just one string most of the time.
This is only approximate, it's quite difficult to make out the notes at the very end.
You have to play 16 notes/bar (I think, I'm not quite sure).
Well just play fast :D
At the end of the solo two strings are played. If you listen closely you'll hear that he
always strike both! It is quite subtle but thats how he gets that fuzzy effect.
That part might not be a 100% accurate but I believe it's really close.
