Chords

From: [email protected] (Rick Scaia) by Kurt Cobain As interpreted by Rick Scaia ([email protected]) The primary riff for this tune is just an F power chord (for two quarter notes) then a quick slide down to a heavily muted E power chord (two eighths and a quarter note). If you've heard the song, it's pretty easy. The chorus and solo aren't much more difficult. Intro: F E F E Verse:

F     E               F          E
Hello toilet trained, come on in

F       E         F          E

F         E                   F           E
"Sit down in the chair, don't be afraid."

F            E     F     E
Steaming hot towel on my face

Main riff twice Verse 3 Chorus Main riff once, then bass only on main riff, then drums only. [If you're just playing alone, just play it three time, and mute it more each time until the third time is extremely percussive sounding.]
