It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I've been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few

Drain You

One baby to another said I'm lucky to have met you...
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my responsibility to completely drain you
A travel through a tube and end up in your infection

Chew your meat for you
pass it back and forth
In a passionate kiss,
from my mouth to yours

With eyes so dialted I've become your pupil
You've taught me everything with a poison apple
The water is so yellow, I'm a healthy student
Indebted and so grateful. Vacuum out the fluids.

You're my vitamins

Lounge Act
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To prove I still
Smell her on you
Don't, tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowning fear
Experience anything yoy need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To prove I still
Smell her on you
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To make you a deal
We've make a pact
To learn from who
Ever we want
Without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Smell her on you
They still, smell her on you
Smell her on you
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stay Away
Monkey See, monkey do
I'd rather be deal than cool
Every line ends in rhyme
Less is more, love is blind
Stay, stay away
Give an inch, take a smile
Fashion shits, fashion stile
Throw it out and keep it in
Have to have poison skin
I don't know why
I don't know why
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
On A Plain
I'll start this off
Without any words
I got so high that
I scratched 'til I bled
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The finest day
That I ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died
Every night
It's safe to say
Don't quote me on that
The black sheep got
Blackmailed again
Forgot to put
On the zip code
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don't make a sense
One more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's ok to eat fish
Cause they haven't any feelings

From: 3EV1@QUCDN.QUEENSU.CA
As far as I know, this song is nameless but is on the "No Alternative" CD. I
don't even own the CD so this might be transcribed in a totally wrong key, and
don't send me hate-mail telling me that it is :)
Here's the chord progression:
C#m A F# G# A B
"...And if you save yourself, you'll find, da da da da..."
Here's the chorus ----> C#m A F# A F# A F#
C#m : 446654 -I may have left out something since I'm doing this
A : 577655 from memory. If so, I guess Kurt would understand...
F# : 244322
G# : 466544
B : 799877

OH ME

As performed by Nirvana & the Meat Puppets
On 'Nirvana Unplugged in New York'
Written by the Meat Puppets
Transcription by Wouter Janssen (wjanssen@cs.vu.nl)
Tune down a *whole* step to play along with the CD.
NB : This song is actually played with 2 guitars, this transcription is just
for one guitar, however it's rather easy to transform it into the 2-guitar
version. Let one guitar play the chords on the higher strings (G/B/e)
throughout the song and the other should play the tab below. (omitting some
of the strokes on the higher strings, just listen to CD

Lyrics (taken from ftp.uwp.edu) :
if i had to lose a mile
if i had to touch feelings
i would lose my soul
the way i do
i don't have to think
i only have to do it
the results are always perfect
and that's old news
would you like to hear my voice
sweetened with emotion
invented at your birth?
i can't see the end of me
my whole expanse i cannot see
i formulate infinity
and store it deep inside of me

"On a Plain" by Nirvana
h = hammer on
p = pull off
This is undoubtedly the hardest song to figure out on the album and it's
still a pain in the arse when you know how to play it. This transcription is
taken from the Nevermind tablature book thing.
Intro (w/distortion)
B(b5)/D# (fdbk pitch D#)
----------------|---------------------------
----------------|----------------------h12--
--10------------|------------------h10------
---9------------|----------------h9---------
----------------|---------------------------
--11------------|--10h11p10h11-------------
play that second part three times and hammer-on all notes with the fretting
hand.
Verse
D G F E5 F5 E5
--2--------------------------------------------------
--3---3-------0----0---------------------------------
--2---2---0---0----0---2---2----2----------------0--
--0---0---0---0--------3---3----3----------------0--
--0--------------------4---3----3---2--2--3--2------
--------------3------------1----1---0--0--1--0------
it goes like this (dashes included to line up some syllables with notes):
D G F E5 F5 E5
I'll start this off with-out an-y words...
then the "I love myself line...":
D C5 B5 A5
--2---------------------------------------------
--3---3-----------------------------------------
--2---2--0--5--5--5--5--4---4--0--2--2--2--0--
--0---0--0--5--5--5--5--4---4--0--2--2--2--0--
------------3--3--3--3--2---2-----0--0--0------
------------------------------------------------
D C5 B5 A5
I love myself better than you...
So the verse follows the first rythym figure twice, then the second figure
for the refrain, then back to the first figure for the "I know it's wrong..."
line.
D G F E5 F5 E5
D G F E5 F5 E5
D C5 B5 A5
D G F E5 F5 E5
As the chorus starts, play this figure and repeat it for the chorus:

I'm on a plain I can't complain
The bridge is the only easy part:

Tune down 1/2-step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
NOTE: These are the chords you are pretending to play; the
actual chords that come out are a half-step lower because of
the tuning. Play A-barre chords on the chorus.
Am G
Im on my time with everyone

Distill the life thats inside of me

Im anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
Im so tired I cant sleep
Im a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

Im on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

Tips: Slide up fron the C barre to the D barre during the

This is played with the following (movable) shapes:

Bb 650x66

Sometimes the riff is varied by playing the highest note
on string 2 (B) instead of string 1 (E). Takes a bit of
practising at first. Play it fingerstyle and use you thumb
to rake the E, A and D strings.

Now, I posted an all power chord version of this song not too long ago
which is the way the song is played on the album (Nevermind). When you
ask for the 'acoustic' version of this song I'm not sure what you mean.
Do you mean the open chord version?
If so, then here's what you can do. I'm sending at the end of this
letter the power chord version that I posted before. The open chord
version has basically the same chords: E G D C for the lyrics and D C G
A# for the chorus. These are all simple major open chords chords and
when I play it this way, I use a barre major shape on the 6th fret for
the A# chord of the chorus. I hope this helps, please let me know of
any problems.
Thanx,
-Philip F. Gomez
PS. -Here's the power chord version of "Polly."
Note: Played as it is, it does sound good on an acoustic as well.

Lyrics (according to the Lithium single):
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
Polly said...
Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don~t hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I~ve got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don~t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself

"Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" by Nirvana
tune down 1/2 step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
p = pull off
h = hammer on
the intro is something like this but with some weird effects. this is the
closest i could get:
---------------11p10h11p10--
--11p10h11p10---------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
then the main riff:
B5 F#5 A#5 F5

-------------------------------------------------
--5--5---------------4---4--4-------------------
--5--5---5----5--5---4---4--4--4--4--4--4---4--
--3--3---5----5--5---2---2--2--4--4--0--2---4--
---------3----3--3--------------2--2--0--2---2--
that last chord (F5) is played out a little longer than the other chords
(listen to the cd for timing). plus, i'm not sure if that chord in the
middle of F5 is what i have listed or 044xxx, but it shouldn't really
matter.
bridge:
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
--------------------
--------------------
--5----9------------
--5----9----7----5--
--3----7----7----5--
------------5----3--
there's a slide between B5 and D#5. and on the last line of the bridge, only
B5 and D#5 are played.
to even mention the verse is a joke.

Lounge Act
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To prove I still
Smell her on you
Don't, tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowning fear
Experience anything yoy need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To prove I still
Smell her on you
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it wouldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel
And I wanted more
Than I could steal
I'll arrest myself
And wear a shield
I'll go out of my way
To make you a deal
We've make a pact
To learn from who
Ever we want
Without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Smell her on you
They still, smell her on you
Smell her on you
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stay Away
Monkey See, monkey do
I'd rather be deal than cool
Every line ends in rhyme
Less is more, love is blind
Stay, stay away
Give an inch, take a smile

Throw it out and keep it in
Have to have poison skin
I don't know why
I don't know why

On A Plain
I'll start this off
Without any words
I got so high that
I scratched 'til I bled
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The finest day
That I ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died
Every night
It's safe to say
Don't quote me on that
The black sheep got
Blackmailed again
Forgot to put
On the zip code
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don't make a sense
One more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home

OH ME
=====
As performed by Nirvana & the Meat Puppets
On 'Nirvana Unplugged in New York'
Written by the Meat Puppets
Transcription by Wouter Janssen (wjanssen@cs.vu.nl)
Tune down a *whole* step to play along with the CD.
NB : This song is actually played with 2 guitars, this transcription is just
for one guitar, however it's rather easy to transform it into the 2-guitar
version. Let one guitar play the chords on the higher strings (G/B/e)
throughout the song and the other should play the tab below. (omitting some
of the strokes on the higher strings, just listen to CD

Lyrics (taken from ftp.uwp.edu) :
if i had to lose a mile
if i had to touch feelings
i would lose my soul
the way i do
i don't have to think
i only have to do it
the results are always perfect
and that's old news
would you like to hear my voice
sweetened with emotion
invented at your birth?
i can't see the end of me
my whole expanse i cannot see
i formulate infinity
and store it deep inside of me

"On a Plain" by Nirvana
h = hammer on
p = pull off
This is undoubtedly the hardest song to figure out on the album and it's
still a pain in the arse when you know how to play it. This transcription is
taken from the Nevermind tablature book thing.
Intro (w/distortion)
B(b5)/D# (fdbk pitch D#)
----------------|---------------------------
----------------|----------------------h12--
--10------------|------------------h10------
---9------------|----------------h9---------
----------------|---------------------------
--11------------|--10h11p10h11-------------
play that second part three times and hammer-on all notes with the fretting
hand.
Verse
D G F E5 F5 E5
--2--------------------------------------------------
--3---3-------0----0---------------------------------
--2---2---0---0----0---2---2----2----------------0--
--0---0---0---0--------3---3----3----------------0--
--0--------------------4---3----3---2--2--3--2------
--------------3------------1----1---0--0--1--0------
it goes like this (dashes included to line up some syllables with notes):
D G F E5 F5 E5
I'll start this off with-out an-y words...
then the "I love myself line...":
D C5 B5 A5
--2---------------------------------------------
--3---3-----------------------------------------
--2---2--0--5--5--5--5--4---4--0--2--2--2--0--
--0---0--0--5--5--5--5--4---4--0--2--2--2--0--
------------3--3--3--3--2---2-----0--0--0------
------------------------------------------------
D C5 B5 A5
I love myself better than you...
So the verse follows the first rythym figure twice, then the second figure
for the refrain, then back to the first figure for the "I know it's wrong..."
line.
D G F E5 F5 E5
D G F E5 F5 E5
D C5 B5 A5
D G F E5 F5 E5
As the chorus starts, play this figure and repeat it for the chorus:

I'm on a plain I can't complain
The bridge is the only easy part:

Lyrics:
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high [that] I scratched 'till I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do
The finest day that I've ever had
Is when I learned to cry on command
I'm on a plain, I can't complain
My mother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say
It is now time to make it all clear
To write off lines that don't make sense
One more special message to go
And then I'm done and I can go home

Now, I posted an all power chord version of this song not too long ago
which is the way the song is played on the album (Nevermind). When you
ask for the 'acoustic' version of this song I'm not sure what you mean.
Do you mean the open chord version?
If so, then here's what you can do. I'm sending at the end of this
letter the power chord version that I posted before. The open chord
version has basically the same chords: E G D C for the lyrics and D C G
A# for the chorus. These are all simple major open chords chords and
when I play it this way, I use a barre major shape on the 6th fret for
the A# chord of the chorus. I hope this helps, please let me know of
any problems.
Thanx,
-Philip F. Gomez
PS. -Here's the power chord version of "Polly."
Note: Played as it is, it does sound good on an acoustic as well.

Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
Polly said...
Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don~t hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I~ve got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don~t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself

then the main riff:
B5 F#5 A#5 F5
-------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------
--5--5---------------4---4--4-------------------
--5--5---5----5--5---4---4--4--4--4--4--4---4--
--3--3---5----5--5---2---2--2--4--4--0--2---4--
---------3----3--3--------------2--2--0--2---2--
that last chord (F5) is played out a little longer than the other chords
(listen to the cd for timing). plus, i'm not sure if that chord in the
middle of F5 is what i have listed or 044xxx, but it shouldn't really
matter.
bridge:
B5 D#5 G#5 F#5
--------------------
--------------------
--5----9------------
--5----9----7----5--
--3----7----7----5--
------------5----3--
there's a slide between B5 and D#5. and on the last line of the bridge, only
B5 and D#5 are played.
to even mention the verse is a joke.

(standard tuning and everything)
hb = half bend fb = full bend
/ = slide up
for the intro, bang the back of the neck so the strings vibrate and all that.
then play the main riff:
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--0--0-0-5hb-0-0-5hb-0-0-0-0-0-5fb--
chorus:
C5 (x355xx) A5 (577xxx) E5 (022xxx) D5 (x577xx)
i'm not sure about the bridge, but it's something like this:
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------7------7----7---7--7--7--7/--
--7--7-7----7-7----7-------------------
----------------------------------------
that's about it for the tab. i have no idea on the solo. here's the lyrics
(all 15 words):
Won't you believe it is just my luck
No recess
You're in high school again
