Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (1993)

"Play this song tuned 1/2 step down" NO MORE!!! This is the STANDARD TUNING
adaptation. Effort pfft.
Intro: G:-1-1-1---1h2p1----D:-------4--------4-Verse 1:
(C#m)................Ab..........................C#m
We passed upon the stair, we spoke in was and when
.................. Ab............................E
Although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
..............
..B....................... Ab
Which came as a surprise, I spoke into his eyes
.....................C#m.....................B
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago
Chorus:
The riff is just a B major scale followed by an E major scale)
B..........E
Oh no, not me
....C..............B
We never lost control
.................E
You're face to face
C
With The Man Who Sold The World
Bridge: same as the intro riff.
Second Verse:
Same as the first. *Coughs*.
Bridge:
*During Riff* A (let ring) Dm (let ring)
Chorus:
Same.
Outro:
Opening riff X 100 +:
G:...-----------------1-1-1---1h2----1-1-1----1h2p1----------------D:...4S12-13~~~~~~~---------4------4--------4-------4S14~~13-11~~S13Add some variations and TADAH you got a sweet jam with a fraction of the
heroin.

Simple song but first tab so go easy, constructive criticism appreciated,

childish abuse
so
Standard tuning, capo on 4th, (or if you don't have one just cut a chopstick
in half and
it down to the fretboard with a shoestring or something)
Just experiment with different strumming patterns, I tried a cheeky
'D-D-U-U-D-U' and it seemed to was listenable. Just make sure you hit the
high strings
the upstrokes.
For an easy little intro on the one string, see the tab below (s=slide,
repeat 3 or 4
and in between verses).
Alternatively, just mess around with E and Am for an intro.
