For the chords we are not so sure of the exact notes so we play:
e-(7)-(3)--0---
This is played up until the
B-(7)-(3)--0---
end of the chorus repeatedly,
G-(8)-(4)--1---
until the "Your priceless
D--9---5---2---
advice" where instead of
A--9---5---2---
going E-7-3-0-7-3-0 it goes
E--7---3---0---
E-7-3-0-3-0-3. I hope you
follow that as it is pretty simple.
We would be pleased to receive any improvements.
See ya 'gain,
Luce and the rest of Hug.
HEART-SHAPED BOX Lyrics (from In Utero):
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped
box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you
turn black
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just
yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left
black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can
climb right back

"Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana
(This transcription is from my own attempts,
and a little is from a Guitar
World mag that I happened to be skimming
thru.)
First Drop D tuning (where you tune the
lowest string down one whole step to
D), then tune everything down 1/2 step.
So, from low to high, the tuning is
Db Ab Db Gb
Bb Eb
Then the intro and verse go like this:
Ab5
E5
Db5
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
------2-----------------------------------------
----2---2--------3------------0----0-----------
--0------------3---3--------0----0---0---------
-------------3----------0-----------------------
Ab5
E5
Bb5
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
------2-----------------------------------------
----2---2--------3--------4-4--4---------------
--0------------3---3----------0---3-3-----2-----
-------------3----------0-----------------------
The verse ends with that Bb5 pattern with
distortion. Then the chorus is
just those chords in the verse but with
bent notes mixed in.
Ab5
E5
Bb5
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
--2--2----4*---------4*------4-4---4--------4*
--2--2---------3--3---------------0---3-3-----
--0--0---------3--3----------------------------
---------------3--3----------------------------
*bend 1/2
Then the bridge repeats this below pattern
twice, then does that famous Bb5
pattern from the chorus:
E5
Db5
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---0--
--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---0--
--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---0--
At the end of the song, the Bb5 pattern
is played as normal, but let the
notes ring, and that's what creates that
weird guitar sound.
I'm nearly positive about most of
the above stuff, but I'm not exactly sure
about that Bb5 pattern, but that's what
that magazine said so I'm goin' with
that for now <feeble g>. If anyone
knows the solo, pleez post it!

Here's the REAL way to play Heart-Shaped
Box by Nirvana on In Utero.
The tuning is a little weird, you gotta
tune the low E string so that the 8th
fret is A:
E A D G B e
5|
0 | | | | (the E is tuned 1 1/2 steps down)
| 0 | | | |
| 0 | | | |
8 0 | | | |
| 0 | | | |
| 0 | | | |
| 0 | | | |
