Chords
This is off of the Nirvana “With the Lights Out” and I kind of liked the song, so I tabbed
it.
I’m not completely sure about the chorus, yet that is the way I think Kurt may have played
it. It’s pretty easy. I tried to get some of the solo in, but I just couldn’t figure it
all out, so I would just play the part of the solo that is tabbed for the first 8 measures
and improvise on the rest of the 16 measures.
Meter: 4/4
8 measures of Bass intro, then this:

And just improvise on the rest of the solo for the remaining 16 measures since it’s pretty
much undistinguishable.
