------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a retread of the band's 1991 track "Burn Black", featured as a b-side on the "Dicknail" single as well as "My Body, the Hand Grenade". This song, entitled "Whose Porno You Burn (Black)", was recorded live in 1994 and included on the band's 1995 "Violet" single as a b-side. There are lyrics and guitar work carried over from "Burn Black" here, though other pieces of the song are original. Sounds to me like it's about Kurt's drug problem, judging from the lyrics. There is already a tab on here for this but it doesn't include the string-mute intro and also doesn't denote any lyrics or timing, so this is an attempt at a more complete version. "x" = string mute "/" = slide up Tabbed by: Scott H. Tuning: Standard Riff A (Intro):
