I'm not sure if I posted this in here or Fido TAB before, but here it is
again:
MTV Unplugged - NIRVANA
This file contains the following from
Nirvana's appearance on Unplugged:
About Girl
Come As You Are
Jesus Don't Want Me For A Sunbeam
Dumb
Man Who Sold The World
Pennyroyal Tea
Polly
On A Plain
All Apologies
Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
I didn't include the Meat Puppets songs mainly because
I thought they weren't realy similar to the others in style
and also because I haven't figured out all of Plateau yet :)
All of the TABs where written by me.
If you find an problems send me a note on how to fix it at:

This is picked in the Polly/Rape Me
fashion - Bassnote then high strings..
But this one isn't as random as the
others, there's rhythm to it, you'll
get it after you listen to the song and
play along. (Note: use (i))
I'm not like them...
But I can pretend...

Strum the open and (ii)..
Think I'm just happy...

The second guitar plays the chords above the tab.
The chords are strumed in a choppy sort of way.
We passed upon the stairs...
We spoke of was and when...
Although I wasn't there...
He said I was his friend...
Which came as a suprise...
I spoke into his eyes...
I thought you died alone...
long, long time ago...
etc..
When guitar 1 is playing the & chords guitar two plays
the & major scales over them.

During the chorus the tune is slightly palm muted,
pick the bass notes first then the high string in the
fashion as Rape Me. For the chorus strum openly. I
have no idea what the correct lyrics are, that's just
what they sound like to me.

Polly wants a cracker
Think I should get off her first
Think she wants some water

TAB: Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
Written by Leadbelly
Where Did You Sleep Last Night? - As performed by Nirvana
TAB by jesse.scott@baroque.tvk.tsoft.net
TUNING: Down a Half-Step ( )
Chord Voicings:
: 022x0x or 022x00 (Either is find but I think Kurt uses the first)
: x0222x
: 320022 or 320002

: 22444x
Okay, the song starts off strumming the , then Kurt does the following
little run:
he then strums the , , then .. That's the entire progression,
the little run is done only the first two times... Here's the
progression simplified:
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me...
Tell me where did you sleep last night...
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
Her husband, was a hard working man
Just about a mile from here
His head was found in a driving wheel
But his body never was found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
Sing it for me>
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I will shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will ya go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
In the pines, the pines
The sun, the shine
I'll shiver the whole night though
