D-7
From: Jason M Heim
Okay, I suck at tabbing things out on the pc, but here goes. D-7 is
absolutely my favorite song that Nirvana played (I know it's not theirs,
but it rules the way they play[ed] it).
D-7 as played by Nirvana on the "Hormoaning" EP:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(apparently this song is originally by Greg Sage)
Lyrics:
verse 1:
Straight as an arrow, defect, defect.
Not straight, not so straight, reject, reject.
Towards anti-social, solo, solo.
verse 2:
Standing on the stairs, cold cold morning.
Ghostly image of fear, mayday, mayday.
Gonna leave this region, they'll take me with them.
Dimension Seven
tuning: standard (although drop D would work very well)
slow part (no distortion):
E---0--------0--1--------1-- this sequence is played twice before the drums
A------2-----------3-------- come in, then twice more with the drums, then
D---------2-----------0----- all throughout the first two lines of each
G--------------------------- verse.
B---------------------------
E---------------------------
E---5-----5-----6-----6-----5-----5-----6--6-------- this is played during
A------7--7--7-----8--8--8-----7--7--7--8--8-------- the third line of each
D---------7-----------8-----------7-----8--8-------- verse, after which it
G--------------------------------------------------- returns to the riff
B--------------------------------------------------- above.
E---------------------------------------------------
Then there is that pause where the last chord (E) rings out for about
four to eight beats,and then Kurt turns the distortion on and doubles
the tempo.
He uses the following power chord progression:
(REALLY FAST--X MEANS MUTED CHORD)
E,E,X,X,E,E,E,E,F,F,F,G,G,G,F,F x2
then he repeats verse 1 (screaming of course)
use the above chords for the first two lines, and then this for the
third line:
A,A,X,X,A,A,A,A,A#,A#,A#,C,C,C,A#,A# x2
repeat the first power chord progression twice with no lyrics.
scream verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)
guitar solo (improvise your own, it's pretty easy)
scream verse 1 again
repeat first chord progression 8 times more,
screaming "dimension seven" in each.
Sorry if this is confusing, unconventional, or even wrong. If anyone
has any pointers or corrections, let me know.

This is a great cover tune. For those who don't know about it, it's on some
demos and on the Hormoaning import ep. I think it's on one of the import
singles too (probably Lithium UK import).

Now, a few words...
I've seen these stupid shirts made by someone who wants to make money,
the shirts say "Kurt Cobain - Suicide is alright", i dont knw if its right
or wrong, everyone has his opinion, but making money out if it IS wrong,
I'm sure we all remember Kurt for being a great carismatic artist, and he
was a source of inspiriation for some of us. i dont know if you've seen it
or not, but Dave Grohl went up two days ago (Sep 10th) to take the MTV
award for BEST ALTERNATIVE VIDEO , and said how much he misses Kurt and
thinks about him everyday, suicide is NOT ALRIGHT, it hurts, but then...
Coming up next: Nirvana "blew" and Alice in Chains "I Stay Away"
(so send me comments about dive)

Even in his youth
From: psalzman+sfsuvax1.sfsu.edu (Peter Salzman)
~Title: Even In His Youth
Artist: Nirvana; lyrics and music by Kurt Cobain.
Recording: 2nd track on the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" CD single. Also known
as "Smells Like a Teenage Single". Previously unreleased.
Tab: 1.0 by Peter Jay Salzman psalzman+stars.sfsu.edu
Beat: Allegro, about 144 bpm.
Sound: Not Cobain's standard sound, which is why this tune is interesting.
Very distorted with the mids turned up super duper (ie 10) and
lows turned up also. A very muddy distortion with lots of
harmonics giving it an almost pipe organ sound. A very Marshall
sound, but in the OPPOSITE sense of Hendrix who had the treble
turned high.
Intro: Feedback on 12 fret, 1st string (high E).
The following riff is the vamp and verse. For those who want to do it
just like the recording, vamp the 2 measures 2 times, then drums enter
on the third time. Vocals enter on the fifth repeat.

After the chorus is done the 2nd time, go back and play the verse part.
The song fades from here while Kurt just sang "even his youth even in
his youth even in his youth even in his youth". If you can't fade
gracefully (I'm not good at it myself), chop it off at the C.

This is my 1st tab. I'm just trying to put back into the net a little bit of
what I take. I have 4 urgent requests from everyone: 1) If there are any
corrections in the song or lyrics PLEASE write to me and I'll correct it and
rerelease the tab. 2) If anyone can even guess at the 1st line in the chorus,
please let me know. 3) I'm not objective enough to know if I did a good job.
If there's anything I can do to make this more usable, let me know. (ie should
I just write out the verse instead of partitioning by chord? Should I write
out the whole tab instead of taking short cuts like "repeat 4 times"). No
suggestion is too trivial to be seriously considered. 4) What Kurt did was
fucked and he's a fucker for doing it, but he brought a lot of good music in
the world and deserves to be loved for it. I can be reached at:

Floyd the barber
From: ag725+FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Rick Scaia)
The primary riff for this tune is just an F power chord (for two quarter
notes) then a quick slide down to a heavily muted E power chord (two
eighths and a quarter note). If you've heard the song, it's pretty

Subject: Heart Shaped Box tab - Nirvana
'iya America, 'iya world, I'm Lucy Watt (aged 16) from
Clophill, Bedfordshire, England.
I am the drummer for a band that is at the moment called Shrug.
Andrew Lock, Martyn Foster, Scott Greenshields and I
(who make up Hug) usually play our own music, but we also
like to do some covers of Nirvana, Hendrix, Pearl Jam,
Radiohead, Blind Melon, the Jesus Lizard etc.
In return for the transcripts we have used from you
we would like to give you Heart-Shaped Box, which my Dad worked out.

For the chords we are not so sure of the exact notes so we play:

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
From: KLeonard+aol.com
"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 . 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 | | | |

Love buzz
From: stingray+unlisys.in-berlin.de (Christian Lampl)
The song seems to be based on a Bb-chord
Then there are two riffs a "slow" one and a "fast" one.
The slow one is something like this
e|------------------------------------------------------|
b|------------------------------------------------------|
g|-----------------8s7----------------------------------|
d|-----------6s8h9-----8--------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
Anybody out there who has figured out the "fast" part ?
Or anything else important of the song ?
From: ejs+world.std.com (Eric J Schwarzenbach)
This is my attempt to tab parts of Nirvana's "Love Buzz" from the album Bleach
I checked before I posted this, and there's another tab of this on Nevada,
but I think this makes some improvements, so I'm going to post it anyway.
There is one A# power chord done on the guitar during the song. I'm not sure,
if you listen to the bass part there may actually be other chord changes durin
song but this is the only on struck on the guitar:
A#5 or maybe A# (there seem to be variations)
----- -----
----- -3---
-3--- -3---
-3--- -3---
-1--- -1---
----- -----
This bass riff can be approximated in the guitar as:
(I'm assuming normal tuning)
~ H P
----------------
----------------
----------------
----------------
---------5-6-5--
-6-5-6-7--------
This riff shows up later on a higher octive as an actual guitar riff:
~ H P
----------------
----------------
---------7-8-7--
-8-7-8-8--------
----------------
----------------
I'm using the ~ symbol to indicate vibrato, H to mean Hammer on and P to mean
The Hammer / Pull sequence above is done as a quick trill. These riffs are re
together smoothly so that the first note (sustained a bit) serves as the end n
riff also, though I didn't write it that way (you get the idea).
There is another very fast descending guitar riff played that is something lik
H P H P H P
-10-11-10---8-9-8-------------------
--------------------10-11-10--------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
I don't think this captures it perfectly, but I think is a series of trills li
Anyone have any enhansements or opinions as to whether I'm on the right track?
There's also additional assorted distorted guitaring that I've given up on fig
The words seem to be something like:
Would you believe me when I tell you
you are the queen of my heart?
Please don't decieve me when I hurt you,
This ain't the way it seems.
[or maybe]
Just say it the way it seems.
chorus:
Can you feel my love buzz? (repeated).

To play along with the CD (or any boots of the last tour),
tune down a half step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.
I still don't know the opening chord, but I've pretty much
figured out the rest of it, partly by watching the Oakland
video. I'm not great at naming chords, so help me out here.
Here are the fingerings for the chords used:

That legendary divorce is such a bore
As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a Dad
I just want you to know that I
Don't hate you anymore
There is nothing I could say
That I haven't thought before
: Reposted by request:
Serve the Servants. Actually, this is what I've figured out, attested to by
the Live and Loud dingo MTV did last New Year's Eve.
The opening chord eludes me to:

****************************
This is how I play the song. I make no guarantees as to its accuracy.
For those interested, a good way to get the Nirvana "Grunge" sound is
just to use very heavy metal distortion plus very thick chorus.
Key:
p - pull off from previous note
s - slide to
b - bend (or unbend) note until it sounds like the next one
x - strike strings muted lightly w/left hand

Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Transcribed by Tim Davis (davist+cs.man.ac.uk) from the album "Nevermind".
Here's the entire song with lyrics et al.
To get the Nirvana sound use very heavy metal distortion plus very thick
chorus with the pickup selector in the bridge (farthest back) position.
Key:
~ - vibrato
\ - slide down
b - bend note until it sounds like the bracketed one
r - release previous bend to bracketed note
x - play strings while muted lightly with left hand

Stay away
From: ThatDude+aol.com
OK, I think this is the only song off of Nevermind (other than Endless,
Nameless) that hasn't been put up here, so here we go:
Stay Away, By Kurt Cobain
Tune the guitar down a half step
It starts out with drums and bass. Then the guitar enters with (all power
chords):
D5 B5 F5 C5 C5 C#5 (repeat 4 times)
Then the verses come, mostly drums and bass, but during "I don't know why!"
Kurt plays:
E)--------------------------
B)--------------------------
G)-----4/5-5-5-5(bend)-5----
D)--------------------------
A)--------------------------
E)--------------------------
For the chorus its just the intro over and over again.
Bridge:
D5 F5
At the end of the bridge, during the "I don't know why" instead of the normal
thing, he plays:
E)--------------------------
B)--------------------------
G)-----3--3--3--3(bend)--3--
D)--------------------------
A)--------------------------
E)--------------------------
Then its played normally till the guitar shuts up awhile for the bass and
drums, then right before he screams he playes all of the A, D, and G strings
open, then he screams and goes into the chorus.
thats it.
