( from the 1993 album in utero )
words and music by kurt cobain

transcribed by subbub

note : this is mainly for beginners & people who cant read tab or want to be able
to play it easily . the chords used in this song are power chords but i’m going to
print the chord names . just strum from the root of the chords up 3 strings .
playing along with the song may help get timing down!

= = guitar’s on original nirvana recording is tuned half a step down . = =

also – this is how i play it , with one guitar so it’s not 100% accurate , but it
gets the job done!

intro :

( slightly palm muted & strummed with just down stroke . after playing the specified
chord the right amount of times , pick the a string once just before the slide )

G#m ( x6 ) pick the a string once & slide down to :
Em ( x3 ) pick the a string once & slide up to :
G – barre – ( x3 ) pick the a string and slide to :
Em ( x3 ) same as before :
G ( x3 )

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

then repeat again with a slight variation

G#m ( x6 )
Em ( x3 )
G – barre – ( x3 )
Em ( x3 )
G ( x3 ) – – no palm muting this time – –
B ( strummed )
F#m
G

then we repeat this – not the intro though – 3 times and the singer; either you or
kurt if your playing along with a recording , will sing

the first verse :

G#m Em
“it’s so relieving
G Em G B F#m G
to know that you’re leaving as soon as you get paid

G#m Em
it’s so relaxing
G Em G B F#m G
to hear that you’re asking whenever you get your way
G#m Em
it’s so soothing
G Em G B F#m G
to know that you’ll sue me , its starting to sound the same”

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

then we get to the first chorus!
chords are :

C#
E ( barre chord on the 7th fret )
B ( barre on 7th )

C# E B
“i miss the comfort in being sad
C# E B
“i miss the comfort in being sad
C# E B A#m A A#m B A#m A G F#m
i miss the comfort in being saddD – aAaddD – aAaddD – aAaddD yeah . . . . ”

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

verse 2 :

G#m Em
“in her false witness ,
G Em G B F#m G
we hope you’re still with us , to see if they float or drown

G#m Em
my favorite patient
G Em G B F#m G
a display of patience , disease – covered puget sound
G#m Em
she’ll come back as fire
G Em G B F#m G
and burn all the liars , leave a blanket of ash on the ground”

C# E B
“i miss the comfort in being sad
C# E B A#m A A#m B A#m A G F#m

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

then we have the “solo” wich is actually just power chords still

do this 3 times :

G#m ( x2 )
2 hand muted strums then
E barred on the 7th fret ( x2 )

then A a chord on the 9th fret ( x8 )
– – – when i play this i slide my pinkie finger up a fret for part of it – – –

do that twice then :

B A#m A A#m B A#m A G F#m

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

G#m Em
“it’s so relieving
G Em G B F#m G
to know that you’re leaving as soon as you get paid

G#m Em
it’s so relaxing
G Em G B F#m G
to hear that you’re asking whenever you get your way
G#m Em
it’s so soothing
G Em G B F#m G
to know that you’ll sue me , its starting to sound the same”

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
