"About a Girl"
Bleach (SP34a)
Copyright 1989 Sub Pop
Transcribed by Chris Mosher
-------------------------------------------------
This is a close approximation of the way I play Nirvana's
"About a Girl", which is a close approximation of how
Nirvana plays it on their Bleach album.
The chords are generally 5's (i.e., no 3rd),
not minor or major, except for the open G in the verse
(but even that omits the 3rd usually played on the
5th string and has only the 3rd on the 2nd string).
The chords played during the chorus are "power chords"
in the true sense on the phrase. In the second measure
(during "...vantage while."), note that the F#5 is
strummed twice and then the strings are muffled with the
palm of the picking hand on the second count, during
which time there is feedback. This is cool.
There are two different forms of the E5 chord played one
after the other in the chorus (during "I can't see you").
First is the "open" E5 (022xxx). He then slides up to the
alternate E5' at the 7th fret (x799xx). This is really cool.
I play the A5 at the 5th fret (577xxx). This is what it
sounds like to me on the album, although I know Kurt seems
to play an open A (x022xx) often, so it may be that way
instead. Also, I think it's easier to play (577xxx).
This stuff can all be heard clearly after the lead, when
there's no singing over top of it.
The first note in the lead is an open E (6th string) held
for a full count. There are two slides-up. The first slide,
from 7 to 9, is "slow"; play the 7, but don't slide up to
9 until the next beat. The second slide, from 9 up to 12,
is "fast"; play the 9 and slide up to the 12 right away
during that beat. On the next beat, play the 12 on the
3rd string (letting both notes ring). Play 12 on 4th string
and 12 on 3rd string again, letting them ring, and then
slide both notes down on the last up-beat in the measure.
Just before the lead starts, he turns up the distortion, and
seemingly leaves it up during the remainder of the song.
I lifted the lyrics from some other messages posted
to A.G.T. They're the best I can do; I never could
understand what Kurt was saying!
ANY CORRECTIONS OR COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
Thank you and have fun.

Subject: CRD: About A Girl
If someone emails me the lyrics, I'll turn this into a really nice TAB
(instead of a spartan CRD). I don't want to offend anyone, but I can't
imagine this taking someone more than 2 min to strumm out, unless they
don't have the album I guess. Oh well. Have no clue to the lyrics,
sorry. There doesn't seem to be any chorus.
Song: About A Girl
Artist: Nirvana written by Kurt Cobain
CRD'er: Peter Jay Salzman psalzman@stars.sfsu.edu
cut time <----
E-G back and forth 8 times |
drum roll on 4; enter on 5 |
|
E-G back and forth 8 times |
lyrics start on 1 |
| back to here
C# G# F# 2 times |
|
E A C 1 time ------------
This loop is done 4 times, then the E-G thing back and forth 8 times
while he sings (what I think is) Adieu. The drum queues apply only to
the first time the loop is played. Guitar solo is done during the 3rd
loop, on the 2nd E-G thing, for the rest of the loop. I'll transcribe
the guitar solo on the tab if someone sends me the lyrics, but the solo
is based on the Em scale for the E-G thing and then goes into power chords,
following the song chords (ie- C# G# F# C# G# F# E A C).
Before anyone argues with me whether it's E or Em, I'm 90% sure it's
E. The reason for the minor tonality is a pretty ingenious (or lucky?)
trick Cobain played with chords. G happens to be the minor 3rd of E.
Therefore, even though he plays an E, the tonality of the passsage is
minor. I wonder if he was aware of this...

Notes:
All apologies for incorrect lyrics -- this is just how I hear
them. No one knows for sure what they are, anyway.
On Bleach, they play this song in standard tuning (EADGBE),
but on Unplugged they played it a half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb
Bb Eb).
Some say the Em is actually an E or an E5. Try 'em all and see what
sounds best to you.

Hmmm... take everything on the 4th and 5th strings and move
it up 2 frets, and you'e got the way _I_ play it. Doesnt'
mean anything, buy hey, it's my two cents. Try it... I really
think the open low Db and an 11th fret A on the next string sound
right together.

Aneurysm - NIRVANA
-------------------
This file contains two TABs for Aneurysm: one from Incesticide, and one
from the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" maxi CD single. All tabs were written
by me, if there are any mistakes, don't hesitate to write to me at:

I'm also looking for other nirvana fans who are interested in exchanging
nirvana stuff.

Subject: TAB: Nirvana "Been a Son" and request
Date: 14 May 94 00:54:17 GMT
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2]
Hi Everyone,
I've been seeing some really good Nirvana tab lately (thanks a million
to the guy who posted Downer and Mexican Seafood!), so I figured I'd add
a little. I haven't seen this one posted, I'm not sure if it's just so
easy that nobody doesn't know it, or what. Anyway, here's Been a Son.
Oh yeah...if anyone knows Spank Thru, or the solo for D-7, could you PLEASE
post it!?
Been A Son
Written by Kurt Cobain
Tabbed by Gene Azevedo
There are two major versions of this song...the fast electric version
heard on the Lithium single and Incesticide, and a slower "lamer" as Kurt
put it, version which I've heard but can't remember what it was on.
I'll post the tab for the faster one since it's better, but you can play
the more mellow one on an acoustic guitar playing only the higher pitched
strings for the verses, and playing the chorus with the normal tuned
power chords rather than the dropped d as I will show.
Verses:
^-upstroke if you play this one...all others down
E---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------|
B---3--3-----------3---(3)--3--------|
G---2--2-----------2---(2)--2--------| repeat many times
D---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------|
A---0--0---3-2-0---0---(0)--0---3-2-0|
D---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------|
Chorus:
E-------------------------
B-------------------------
G------------------------- Repeat
D---5-5--3--X-2--2--------
A---5-5--3--X-2--2--3-2-0-
D---5-5--3--X-2--2--------
Solo-
There are many ways to play this solo...sometimes Kurt just played the
verse guitar part as the solo...but my version of the solo (quite
pathetic unless you're playing with some other people to help make more
noise!
G--6-6--4-3-1/6--6-6--4-3-1--
repeat a couple times then
G--/4-4--2--2-1--1-1-1-0-1-0--1/4--4--2--2-1--1-1-1-0-1-0
etc.
Enjoy!

@ALBUM: BLEACH
@SONG: Blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like it loose
If you wouldn't care I would like to leave
If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe
Is there another reason for your stay
Could you believe him when you discussed his stain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
If you wouldn't mind I would like it blew
If you wouldn't mind I would like it loose
If you wouldn't care I would like to bleed
If you wouldn't mind I would like to breathe.
Is there another reason for your stay
Could you believe him when you discussed his stain?
Here is another word that rhymes with shame
You could do anything (x8)
@SONG: Floyd the Barber
Hello Cobain come on in
Floyd now says my hairy chin
Sit down in the chair don't be afraid
Steaming hot towel on my face
I'm ashamed
(x3)
Barber ties me to the chair
I can't see I'm really scared
Floyd burns alright he'll sell -?
They depress against my nails
I was ashamed
(x3)
Lies and suffers in the room
Oh reality / Looking at me I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered and he's not
I was ashamed
(x3)
@SONG: About a Girl
I need an easy friend
I do whip her into land - ?
I don't think you fit this shoe
I do, won't you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
I'm standing in your line
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number too
I do keep a date with you
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
I need an easy friend
I do whip her in to land
I do think you fit this shoe
I do won't you have a clue
I'll take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
No I can't see you every night
Free
I do (x4)

It's just my luck

You're in high school again
(x8)
No recess

@SONG: Love Buzz
Would you believe me when I tell you
You are the queen of my heart
Please don't deceive me when I hurt you
Just ain't the way it seems
Can you feel my love buzz (x4)
(repeated)
@SONG: Paper Cuts
When I'm feeling tired
She puts you through the door
I crawl towards the cursed alley
Sometimes I can't find my way
This curtain's (Kurt is?) spellbound (still round)
So get all that you can
A cool man is toughening/too plain
A good hosing down
When the hate in my field (ma)eternal all four
Cannot look me in the eyes
But I asked the years ham radio blew
And the car, twist, mouth, fear! Yaaah!
I think so
I think so
I think so
Nirvana

Nirvana...
Back when 'twas a party
I scratched with my nails
I see now that she's just like me
Why do they not try to escape?
They bring out the holy ones
They pointed my way
They come with the flashing lights
And take my family away
An-gr-y later I am known to
Slap some friends of ridicule
My whole existence is for your fears
And that is why I'm here with you!
Don't taaaake
Me awaaaaay
You're round

In your room
I'm not older
In your eyes
I'm not worth it
Gimme back my alcohol (x8)
(First:)
Give me all your... (x 6)
(First and second repetitions:)
Give me all your... (x 5)
Give me your
Love! (?)
Fuck!
@SONG: Swap Meet
They need a lifestyle that is comfortable
They travel far to keep their stomachs full
They make a living off of arts and crafts
The conversations just would (n)ever laugh (?)
They make a deal when they come to town
The Sunday swap meet is a battle ground
She loves it more than he will ever know
He loves it more than he will ever show
Keeps his cigarettes close to his heart
Keeps her photographs close to her heart
Keeps the bus-i-ness close to the heart
(x3)
@SONG: Mr. Moustache
Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mind and wisdom
Yes I eat cow I am not proud.
Show me how you question, question
Lead the way to my temptations
Take my hand and keep it clean
As I eat cow I am not proud.
Is it an easychair?
Oversized rock
I don't like you anyway
Silver metal box
I'm new
I'm new
(all again, then:)
I'm who?
I'm you--aaaahh! Aaaah!
@SONG: Sifting
Afraid to grade
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cross, self-loss
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Some fear none
Wouldn't it be fun?
Your eyes
Treat yourself
(x3)
Treat yourself
Don't have nothing for you (x6)
Don't have nothing but (for?) you
Smell the smell
Wouldn't it be fun?
Search for a church
Wouldn't it be fun?
Wet your bed
Wouldn't it be fun?
Cold is gold
Wouldn't it be fun?
Your eyes
Treat yourself
(x3)
Treat yourself (x2)
Don't have nothing for you(x7)
Don't have nothing for you (x9)
@SONG: Big Cheese
Big cheese make me
Mine says, "Go to the office"
Big cheese Make me
Mine says, "One that stays"
Black is black, straight back
Need more enemies
Show you all what a man is
Big lies make my
Mine says "Go to the office"
Big cheese Make me
Message? What is it?
Black is black straight back
Need more enemies
She is glue how are you?
@SONG: Downer
Put your sincerity
I've got a royalty
Defending your country
Wish away
I've had a lobotomy
Save your family
Surrealistic fantasy
Bad boy
Fight!
All we know is
Restitution
Living out your
Date of future
There's a hope
Please show me faster
Don't forget
To pass a riot
Somebody served a dinner
Much like I am
I know I can't
Make enough although
If you go along
I sing your song
Sickening pessimists
Picketing masses
Separated communists
Apocalyptic bastards
Rinkydink God
For putting me on this Earth
Being very frivolous
Death in mind
Nurse!
All we know is
Restitution
Living out your
Date of future
There's a hope
Please send it faster
Don't forget
To pass a riot
Somebody served a dinner
Much like I am
I know I can't
Make enough although
If you go along
I sing your song.

From: Jason M Heim
Okay, I suck at tabbing things out on the pc, but here goes. D-7 is
absolutely my favorite song that Nirvana played (I know it's not theirs,
but it rules the way they play[ed] it).
D-7 as played by Nirvana on the "Hormoaning" EP:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(apparently this song is originally by Greg Sage)
Lyrics:
verse 1:
Straight as an arrow, defect, defect.
Not straight, not so straight, reject, reject.
Towards anti-social, solo, solo.
verse 2:
Standing on the stairs, cold cold morning.
Ghostly image of fear, mayday, mayday.
Gonna leave this region, they'll take me with them.
Dimension Seven
tuning: standard (although drop D would work very well)
slow part (no distortion):
E---0--------0--1--------1-- this sequence is played twice before the drums
A------2-----------3-------- come in, then twice more with the drums, then
D---------2-----------0----- all throughout the first two lines of each
G--------------------------- verse.
B---------------------------
E---------------------------
E---5-----5-----6-----6-----5-----5-----6--6-------- this is played during
A------7--7--7-----8--8--8-----7--7--7--8--8-------- the third line of each
D---------7-----------8-----------7-----8--8-------- verse, after which it
G--------------------------------------------------- returns to the riff
B--------------------------------------------------- above.
E---------------------------------------------------
Then there is that pause where the last chord (E) rings out for about
four to eight beats,and then Kurt turns the distortion on and doubles
the tempo.
He uses the following power chord progression:
(REALLY FAST--X MEANS MUTED CHORD)
E,E,X,X,E,E,E,E,F,F,F,G,G,G,F,F x2
then he repeats verse 1 (screaming of course)
use the above chords for the first two lines, and then this for the
third line:
A,A,X,X,A,A,A,A,A#,A#,A#,C,C,C,A#,A# x2
repeat the first power chord progression twice with no lyrics.
scream verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)
guitar solo (improvise your own, it's pretty easy)
scream verse 1 again
repeat first chord progression 8 times more,
screaming "dimension seven" in each.
Sorry if this is confusing, unconventional, or even wrong. If anyone
has any pointers or corrections, let me know.

"D-7" as performed by Nirvana
(originally written by Greg Sage,
performed by the Wipers)
This is a great cover tune. For those who don't know about it, it's on some
demos and on the Hormoaning import ep. I think it's on one of the import
singles too (probably Lithium UK import).
