No one had posted the chords to my favorite Nirvana/Kurt Cobain song so I made one for myself and decided
to share it. The song was recorded by Kurt presumably in his house somewhere and thus its low quality and
hard to decipher what he says I wrote the lyrics as I heard them and if you interpreted something different
you are free to change it and share what you heard as I'm interested. My first tab let me know what you think.
