LITHIUM
Lithium by NIRVANA
On the Nevermind CD and Lithium single.

I'm not too sure if this is correct but the last post of Lithium
didn't sound quite right, so here's how I play it..
Sounds good with a clean electric or light strumming on an acoustic..

..Crack..
I like it I'm not gonna crack...
Instead of the 1--2--0 on the A-string, play:
d--------2--|
a--------2--|
e--0--3-----|
after the Chorus to end the song
Lyrics:
I'm so happy cause today
I've found my friends,
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay
cause so are you
We've broken our mirrors..
Sunday morning is every day for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
Cause I've found god-
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I like it I'm not gonna crack
I miss you I'm not gonna crack
I love you I'm not gonna crack
I kill you I'm not gonna crack
I'm so lonely but that's okay
I shaved my head..
And I'm not sad
And just maybe,
I'm to blame for all I've heard
But I'm not sure..
I'm so excited,
I can't wait to meet you there,
But I don't care..
I'm so horny,
But that's okay, My will is good
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

There it is, I play them all as bar-chords except Em and A.
I verified this by watching Kurt play it on Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!
The only difference I noticed was that he sometimes played the A as a
bar-chord and the D as a regular chord, otherwise the chords are the way
he played them live.
