Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit (chords) Song by Nirvana Tabbed by Bridge Hanson (Bridge.Hanson@gmail.com) So I was a little sad to see that there was only one version of Smells Like Teen Spirit here for chords, and it is very brief and doesn't sound right. So I thought I'd try my at it. This may be a little off, but it's what I have so far. Tuning is standard, and *CAPO THE FRET* (Strum pattern: listen to the original song, and try to strum how Cobain does for the and chorus for the... well, intro and chorus. It goes somewhat like; strum, strumstrum, mutemutemutemute strum strum strum, if that sense. Otherwise just go with what you think fits best) (Chords are placed over the word you start the chord on, but approximate. It's hard to exactly when to shift, but if you know the song/tune, you'll know when to go) Intro: E, A, G, C (x4) Verse Intro: E, A, G, C (x2) Verse: E A G Load up on guns C E Bring your friends A G It's fun to lose C E And to pretend A G She's overboard C E Myself assured A G C E I know I know a dirty word E A G C Hello, hello, hello, how low (x4) Chorus: E With the lights out A G It's less dangerous C E Here we are now A G Entertain us C E I feel stupid A G And contagious C E Here we are now A G Entertain us C E A milato A G An albino C E A misquito A G My libido C Yeah Post-Chorus (this is where I get a little off, and may need work) e -----------------------------------------| B -----------------------2-2-0-0-----------| G --1-1-1-2-2--2^--1-1-1-2-2-0-0-1---------| D --2-2-2-3-3------2-2-2-2-2-0-0-2---------| A --2-2-2-3-3------2-2-2---------2---------| E -----------------------------------------| (x2) Hey! And that's it. Use the same chords and strumming for each chorus and verse, and as for solo.... well, you can either play the solo like normal(I'll put the tab for the solo or you can skip it. I find if you're playing alone, the chorus sounds awkward like because it goes from loud chorus to a somewhat empty/quiet solo feeling, so personally I it. However, if you have a band or something, it may sound better with the solo. Also, for the part at the end where he goes "a denial" over and over, just do the chorus. Solo: (tabbed as if you still have the capo on) e -------------------------------------| B -------------------------------------| G ---7-9---7-9-7-5-4-5-4---------------| D -9-----5---------------7-5-7-9-7-5-4-| A -------------------------------------| E -------------------------------------| (x2) e ----------------------| B ----------------------| G ----------------------| D -5-4--5-4--5-4--5-4---| A --------------------7-| E ----------------------| (x4) It sounds pretty good when played on an acoustic guitar, and it sounds pretty accurate me (not 100% on the post-chorus though).
