Nirvana foi uma banda de grunge fundada no ano de 1987 em Aberdeen, Estados Unidos, cidade vizinha a Seattle, que fazia parte do circuito underground, juntamente à cena de Portland.
Sua música foi inspirada no Punk Rock e no Rock Alternativo e foi chamada "Grunge" pela imprensa e meios de comunicação da época (termo que todas as bandas da época rejeitavam). O grupo se desfez em 1994 com a morte de seu líder, Kurt Cobain.
Quando ganhou sua primeira guitarra elétrica no seu décimo quarto aniversário
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Ok, most of this, I've done in chords, but some of it is done in tab. Anyway, here's the set list:
1- About a Girl 2- Come a you are 3- Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam 4- Man who sold the world 5- Pennyroyal Tea 6- Dumb 7- Polly 8- On a Plain 9- Something in the way 10- Plateau 11- Oh me 12- Lake of fire 13- All apologies 14- Where did you sleep last night
NOTE: This isn't a pinpoint perfect tab. I'm only gonna give the basic choruses, verses and intro's etc. but I'm not gonna say the song structure, as that's not to hard to work out for yourself. ________________________________________________________
Track 1- About a Girl Obviously, like all songs on this album, this sounds best acoustic.
The chords needed for About a Girl: EmGC#5G#5F#5 e|---|-3-|---|---|---| b|-0-|-0-|---|---|---| g|-0-|-0-|-6-|---|---| d|-2-|-0-|-6-|-6-|-4-| a|-2-|-2-|-4-|-6-|-4-| e|-0-|-3-|---|-4-|-2-|
Inro:
EmGEmG
EmGEmG I----- need an easy friend,
EmGEmG I do, with an ear to lend...
Chorus:
C#5G#5F#5 Take advantage while,
C#5G#5F#5 you hang me out to dry,
C#5G#5F#5 but I can't see you every night,
EmG free.
Then play Verse two and chorus:
After second chorus:
EmG I do,
EmG I do...
Then go into solo:
e|-----------------------0-----------3--3--3--| b|-----------------0--0-----3--3--3--3--3--3--| Play this 4x for g|-----------0--2-----------------------------| the solo. d|-----0--2-----------------------------------| a|--------------------------------------------| e|--0-----------------------------------------|
Then play the first verse again, then a final chorus. After final chorus play:
EmG I do,
EmG I do... Play about 8x until end of song. ________________________________________________________ Track 2- Come as you are
F#EF#AGE Come as you are, as you were, as I want you to be,
F#EF# as a friend, as a trend, as an old memory...
ADEmADEm Memor--------y, Memor--------y...
GAF#E When I swear, I don't have a gun,
AF#E no I don't have a gun... ________________________________________________________
Track 3- Jesus doesn't want me for a sunbeam
(Lightly strummed chords)
DAmC Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam,
DAmC sunbeams, aren't meant to be like me.
DmAmCEm Don't expect me to cry, for reasons, are to die,
DmAmC don't ever ask a guy like me.
Chorus:
E5D5 Don't expect me to cry,
E5D5 don't expect me to lie,
E5D5BmAm don't expect me to die, for thee.
K, there's the verse and chorus, that's all I know of that song. ________________________________________________________
Track 4- Man who sold the world
Intro: h- hammer on
e|------------------------| |-----| b|------------------------|Repeat|-----| g|--2--2--2--0--2-h-3--0--|three |--2--|Let this note ring d|------------------------|times |-----| a|------------------------| |-----| e|------------------------| |-----|
ADm We passed upon the stairs, spoke of was and when,
A7F although I wasn't there, he said I was his friend
CA which came as some surprise, I spoke into his eyes,
DmC I thought you died alone, a long, long time ago.
Bridge:
e|--------------------| |-----------------------------------------| b|--------------------| |--3---1------3---1---1--1----------1-----| g|-----------------0--|x2|--------------------------3---3-------2--| d|--------0--2--3-----| |-----------------------------------------| a|--0--3--------------| |-----------------------------------------| e|--------------------| |-----------------------------------------| Who knows, not me, we never lost control...
e|------------------------------------------------------| b|--3------1-----3--1--------------1------------1-------| g|------------------------2----2-------3---3--------2---| d|------------------------------------------------------| a|------------------------------------------------------| e|------------------------------------------------------| ...your'e face, to face, with the man who sold the world.
For the outro, play the following chords, then play the intro riff, after each chord. (Listen to CD for timing)
This is the cello bit, that plays after each line of the chorus. I'm not entirely sure of the accuracy of this riff, but it's the closest I could get. Played on a second guitar.
There's the bare essentials to that song. ___________________________________________________________________________
Track 7- Polly
If there's one song in this tab that I'm 1 million percent sure of the accuracy, it's this one.
Intro:
E5G5D5C5
Verse:
E5G5D5C5 Polly wants a cracker,
E5G5D5C5 think I should get off her first,
E5G5D5C5 I think she wants some water,
E5G5D5C5 to put out the blow - torch.
Chorus:
D5C5G5Bb5 Isn't me, have some seed,
D5C5G5Bb5 let me clip, your dirty wings,
D5C5G5Bb5 let me take a ride, hurt yourself,
D5C5G5Bb5 want some help, help myself.
This whole song is entirely made up of those two chord sequences. _____________________________________________________________________
Track 8- On a Plain
DGsus2F5E5 I'll start this off, without any words,
DGsus2F5E5 I got so high, I scrathed til I bled.
DCBA Love myself, better than you,
DGsus2F5E5 I know it's wrong, so what should I do?
Chorus:
DGsus2
Bbsus2 I'm on a plain,
DGsus2
Bbsus2 I can't complain.
F5E5A5 Somewhere I have heard this before,
F5E5A5 in a daydream, memory has stored...
That's pretty much it. ____________________________________________________________________
Track 9- Something in the way
Ah, now, Something in the way is one of my least favourite Nirvana songs, so I can't be bothered tabbing it. If someone emails me a tab for it, (address is at foot of page) I will add it to this album tab, (and of course give that person credit) Anyway moving swiftly on... _______________________________________________________________________
For the verse, guitar one plays the intro riff, while guitar two plays the following chord sequence:
AG Many a hands, have scaled the grand ol' faceth off plateau,
GE5 some belong to strangers, some the folks you know...
Chorus:
DDsus4 Nothing on the top, but a bucket and a mop,
GA and an illustrated book about birds,
CAm see alot up there but don't be scared,
DE5 who needs actions when you've got words. _____________________________________________________________________
Track 11- Oh Me
OK, since this song DOES have a second guitar in it, and it seems nobody has tabbed the second guitar part, I decided to take the liberty of doing it myself. So here it is, the second (or background) guitar to Oh, Me.
G If I had to lose a mind, C if I had to touch feeling, DmAm I would lose my soul, the way I do. G I don't have to think, C I only have to do it, DmAm the results are always perfect, that's all new...
This chord sequence continues throughout the song. __________________________________________________________________
K, luckily this song only has one chord sequence throughout the entire song, and is really easy but fun to play.
EmAG My girl, my girl, don't lie to me,
BF#Em tell me where did you sleep last night,
EmAG in the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine,
BF#Em I would shiver the whole night through...
Repeat til end of song. _______________________________________________________________
Right it's taken me a while, but I'm finished. Hope you enjoy the tab. Any questions or comments, (or a tab for something in the way) please send to [email protected] Also please rate this tab, cos I worked really hard on it and it took me ages! Later.
