A A verse verse 1 A A chorus chorus B A verse verse 2 A A chorus chorus B A lead - C C C C chorus - B A verse verse 1 A A chorus/coda coda B D A A E From: psalzman@sfsuvax1.sfsu.edu (Peter Salzman) Subject: CRD: About A Girl If someone emails me the lyrics, I'll turn this into a really nice TAB (instead of a spartan CRD). I don't want to offend anyone, but I can't imagine this taking someone more than 2 min to strumm out, unless they don't have the album I guess. Oh well. Have no clue to the lyrics, sorry. There doesn't seem to be any chorus. Song: About A Girl Artist: Nirvana written by Kurt Cobain CRD'er: Peter Jay Salzman psalzman@stars.sfsu.edu cut time From Nirvana's Bleach (also featured on Nirvana's 1993 MTV Unplugged performance) Intro: Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G Em G I need an easy friend Em G Em G I do with a hand to lend Em G Em G I do think you fit this shoe Em G Em G I do what you have a clue C# G# F# I'll take advantage while C# G# F# You hang me out to dry Em A C Em G Em G But I can't see you every night free Em G Em G I do Em G Em G I'm standing in your light Em G Em G I do hope you have the time Em G Em G I do pick up number two Em G Em G I do keep a date with you C# G# F# I'll take advantage while C# G# F# You hang me out to dry Em A C Em G Em G But I can't see you every night free Em G Em G I do Solo: Repeat 3x (s=slide up) E ------------------------|- B ------------------------|- G ----------------7--7s9--|- D -----5-7-7s9--9---------|- A -7-7--------------------|- E ------------------------|- (Repeat verse 1) C# G# F# I'll take advantage while C# G# F# You hang me out to dry Em A C But I can't see you every night Em A C I can't see you every night Em G Em G Free Em G Em G I do Em G Em G I do Em G Em G Em I do Notes: All apologies for incorrect lyrics -- this is just how I hear them. No one knows for sure what they are, anyway. On Bleach, they play this song in standard tuning (EADGBE), but on Unplugged they played it a half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb). Some say the Em is actually an E or an E5. Try 'em all and see what sounds best to you.
