My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will ya go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, the pines
The sun, the shine
I'll shiver the whole night though

Subject: TAB: "Vaseline Cover Songs" by Nirvana
I've decided to list all three of the Vaseline cover songs Nirvana has done,
since they're all real short (Molly's Lips, Son of a Gun, and Jesus Wants Me
For A Sunbeam). (a chord notation is at the end of this document for the
musically retarded)
*Molly's Lips*
This is just two chords throughout. Just G5 C5. That's it!
*Son of a Gun*
The intro and verse is A5 E5 D5 E5
Chorus: G5 C5 D5 C5
The interlude is just basically G5 D5 a couple of times, then A5 E5* a
couple of times, then back to G5 D5 four times.
*Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam*
Verse: E5 D5 A5
Chorus: E5 D5 E5 D5 E5 D5 A5
The solo (and the accordion part in the Unplugged version, I think) goes like
this:
----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------9-7--------------------------------------
--6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9-7-6---------7-6---------
--------------------------------------7--7-7------7--7-7-
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
In live versions, the first and third verse are clean, while the choruses,
second verse, and solo are distorted. But both live electric versions and
the acoustic Unplugged version are played this way. On Unplugged it's tuned
down 1/2 step and for the outro the above tab is played once and then this is
played:
--------------------------------------------
-----------------9-7-------------7--9--10--
--6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9-----------

from the No Alternative benefit album (last track-uncredited)
words and music by the late, great Kurt Cobain
transcribed by Robert Wolsey
Tuning (low to high string): Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Notes: I think Kurt played this one using flat tuning, since
it was recorded for In Utero and everything on that CD is
tuned down a half step. The chords shown below are the
chords you're pretending to play; the chords that come out
are a half step lower because of the tuning.

Then you'll make him happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with dust
Then you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Your clue just came to you
(guitar solo over verse chords)
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Your clue just came to you
And if you fool yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you will seem happy
You'll wallow in the shit
Then you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Your clue just came to you, oh

Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will ya go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, the pines
The sun, the shine
I'll shiver the whole night though

Subject: TAB: "Vaseline Cover Songs" by Nirvana
I've decided to list all three of the Vaseline cover songs Nirvana has done,
since they're all real short (Molly's Lips, Son of a Gun, and Jesus Wants Me
For A Sunbeam). (a chord notation is at the end of this document for the
musically retarded)
*Molly's Lips*
This is just two chords throughout. Just G5 C5. That's it!
*Son of a Gun*
The intro and verse is A5 E5 D5 E5
Chorus: G5 C5 D5 C5
The interlude is just basically G5 D5 a couple of times, then A5 E5* a
couple of times, then back to G5 D5 four times.
*Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam*
Verse: E5 D5 A5
Chorus: E5 D5 E5 D5 E5 D5 A5
The solo (and the accordion part in the Unplugged version, I think) goes like
this:
----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------9-7--------------------------------------
--6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9-7-6---------7-6---------
--------------------------------------7--7-7------7--7-7-
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
In live versions, the first and third verse are clean, while the choruses,
second verse, and solo are distorted. But both live electric versions and
the acoustic Unplugged version are played this way. On Unplugged it's tuned
down 1/2 step and for the outro the above tab is played once and then this is
played:
--------------------------------------------
-----------------9-7-------------7--9--10--
--6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9-----------
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
chord notation
E5 : 022xxx
G5 : 355xxx or 3x00xx
A5 : 577xxx or x022xx
C5 : x355xx
D5 : x577xx or xx023x
E5* : x799xx

Verse Chorus Verse
as recorded by Nirvana
from the No Alternative benefit album (last track-uncredited)
words and music by the late, great Kurt Cobain
transcribed by Robert Wolsey
Tuning (low to high string): Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Notes: I think Kurt played this one using flat tuning, since
it was recorded for In Utero and everything on that CD is
tuned down a half step. The chords shown below are the
chords you're pretending to play; the chords that come out
are a half step lower because of the tuning.
D A# G A
And if you save yourself
A# F D
You will make him happy
A# G A
He'll keep you in a jar
A# F D
And you'll think you're happy
A# G A
He'll give you breathing holes
A# F D
And you'll think you're happy
A# G A
He'll cover you with dust
A# G D A#
And you'll think you're happy now
G A#
You're in a laundry room
G A#
You're in a laundry room
G A# A
The clue just came to you, oh
And if you cut (guard?) yourself
You will think you're happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll make him happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with dust
Then you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Your clue just came to you
(guitar solo over verse chords)
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Your clue just came to you
And if you fool yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you will seem happy
You'll wallow in the shit
Then you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Your clue just came to you, oh
