Description:

This is off of the Nirvana “With the Lights Out” and I kind of liked the song, so I tabbed
it. And I cannot believe how crappily everybody else tabs it. I’m positive this is correct,
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:

pretty
