Transcribed by Subbub
Note: This is mainly for beginners & people who cant read tab or want to be able
to play it easily. The Chords used in this song are power chords but I'm going to
print the chord names. Just strum from the root of the chords up 3 strings.
playing along with the song may help get timing down!
==Guitar's on original nirvana recording is tuned half a step down.==
[Intro]
(slightly palm muted & strummed with just down stroke. after playing the specified
chord the right amount of times, pick the A string once just before the slide)
G#m (x6) Pick the A string once & slide down to:
Em (x3) pick the A string once & slide up to:
G -Barre- (x3) pick the A string and slide to:
Em (x3) same as before:
G (x3)
------------------
Then repeat again with a slight variation
G#m (x6)
Em (x3)
G -Barre- (x3)
Em (x3)
G (x3) -- No palm muting this time--
B (strummed)
F#m
G
Then we repeat this -not the intro though- 3 times and the singer; either you or
kurt if your playing along with a recording, will sing
[Verse 1]
G#m Em
"It's so relieving
G Em G B F#m G
To know that you're leaving as soon as you get paid
G#m Em
It's so relaxing
G Em G B F#m G
To hear that you're asking whenever you get your way
G#m Em
It's so soothing
G Em G B F#m G
To know that you'll sue me, its starting to sound the same"
[Chorus 1]

[Verse 2]
G#m Em
"In her false witness,
G Em G B F#m G
we hope you're still with us, To see if they float or drown
G#m Em
My favorite patient
G Em G B F#m G
a display of patience, Disease-covered Puget Sound
G#m Em
She'll come back as fire
G Em G B F#m G
And burn all the liars, leave a blanket of ash on the ground"
[Chorus 2]

Then we have the "Solo" wich is actually just power chords still

then a A chord on the 9th fret (x8)
--- When I play this I slide my pinkie finger up a fret for part of it---
Do that twice then:
B A#m A A#m B A#m A G F#m

G#m Em
It's so relaxing
G Em G B F#m G
To hear that you're asking whenever you get your way
G#m Em
It's so soothing
G Em G B F#m G
To know that you'll sue me, its starting to sound the same"
