Subject: Come As You Are btab
This is the btab to "Come As You Are" by Nirvana. It's an easy tab and I'm
suprised no one has posted it...oh well...here it is.
G ----------------------------- This is the verse part. Play it however
D ----------------------------- many times your supposed to.
A ---------0---0---------2---2-
E -0-0-1-2---2---2-2-1-0---0---
G ----------------------------- This is the "Memories Yeah" chorus.
D ----------------------------- Play it however many X's your supposed
A -------------0-0-0-0-0------- to play it. The tempo isn't tabbed out
E -2-2-2-2-2-3-----------3----- to scale but you can figure it out.
G ----------------------------- This is the "swear I...gun" chorus.
D -------------0-0-0-0-0------- Play it however many X's your supposed to.
A -2-2-2-2-2-3-----------3-----
E -----------------------------
Play the verse part during the guitar solo. That's it. No G-string needed.

NOTE on "5b(1/2)" in my tab: The actual 5th fret marking is just a
grace note. The 1/2-step bend itself falls on the beat (usually).
The Sixth fret markings in parentheses "(6)" means that you should
strike the note WHILE BENDING, meaning that you should strike the string
while the string is still bend up half a step.
I dunno if this tab will match up with the guitar tab on OLGA. Never
tried. This is the way I play it with my band, and it fits just fine, both
playing live and along with the album.
Sorry if all of this is confusing. Just follow the beat markings I added,
or (better yet) listen to the album for Chris's feel. It's not the most
"groove" kind of music, but it's just so raw and loud...IMHO, it's one of
the most powerful basslines I've played. =)
(Remember, LOUD and DISTORTED!)
Enjoy...

BACK INTO VERSE (ENDS THE SONG)
TRANSCRIBED BY JÉRÔME MELANÇON
n.riopel@sympatico.caHelp Me, I'm Hungry
by Nirvana (a bootleg track)
This song is so simple that it's silly. Nirvana does play most of
their songs tuned down so that the actual layout of the riff is:
|---------------------------------------------------
|---------------------------------------------------
|---------------------------------------------------
|--4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2/6-6-6-1-1-1-1--------
But, if you're lazy (like me) and don't want to bother tuning
it down, just play everything one fret lower. You can't tell
the difference and it's much easier than retuning.
|---------------------------------------------------
|---------------------------------------------------
|---------------------------------------------------
|--3-3-3-1-1-1-1-1/5-5-5-0-0-0-0--------
Enjoy! It's easy, but sounds excellent.

There's no bass for the entire first verse.
Bass comes in at the first _chorus_:

D--------------------------7-------5-------------------|
A--7--7-6--6-4--4------5-5---5-3-3---3-2-2-2-2-5-5-5-5-|
E-----------------5--5---------------------------------|
Play the chorus again, then the _other chorus_:
G------------------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------5-7--7-7-5---5--------------------|
A---------3--3-3-----3-5-7------------7---7--7-5-3-0-3-0-3-5-|
E--5--5-5--------5-5-----------------------------------------|
The bridge part, going into the third verse of ending the song:

D---------------------------------||---|
A--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0-0-0-0-0------||---|
E----------------------------0-3--||-0-|
^
End of song only.
Oh, and one time, the very last repetition of the _other chorus_ part
during the second time its played, there is a variation that goes like
this:
G----------------------------------------------5-------------|
D--------------------------5--7--7-7-5---5-7-7---7-5---------| Then go into

I've never seen this tabbed anywhere but this is how my band plays it
and it sound really good. So without further ado...
Song: I hate myself, I want to die
Band: Nirvana
CD: Beavis and Butthead Expirence (track 1)
Bassist: Chris Novocelic
Verse: play this when the drums come in:
G ----------------------------------- Play about 4 times i think.
D ----------------------------------- <-------------------------
A -----------------------------------
E -4--4--4-2-2-1-2--4--4--4-2-2-1-0--
Chorus:
G -------------------
D ------------------- Play about 8 times.
A ------------------- <-----------------
E -3--3--1-1\7-7-7-7-
Play the verse again.
Play the chorus again.
During the solo I always play:
G -------------------------- <-------------------
D -------------------------- Play that a couple of (right before the
A ---------7-----------3---- times and then strum chorus with the drums)
E -3-3-3-3-----3-3-3-3------ -------------------> E --4-4--
Play the verse again and then the chorus a final time.
After the last chorus part play:
E -4--4-4-3-2-1-
To end it.
That's it. Pretty easy!

I'm not entirely sure about how close this is. Basically its just the root
notes from the guitar lines. If you have a better version or any corrections
just e-mail me and put me in my place.
