Nirvana About a Girl
Tuning:
I need an easy friend
I do with a hand to lend
I do think you fit this shoe
I do want you to have a clue
Take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
I do
I'm standing in your lane
I do hope you have the time
I do pick a number two
I do keep a date with you
Take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
Free
I do
I need an easy friend
I do with a hand to lend
I do think you fit this shoe
I do want you to have a clue
Take advantage while
You hang me out to dry
But I can't see you every night
But I can't see you every night
Free
I do
I do
I do
I do

Title : JESUS DON'T WANT ME FOR A SUNBEAM
Tuning:
Jesus don't want me for a sunbeam
Sunbeams are never made like me
Don't expect me to cry, for all the reasons you had to die
Don't ever ask your love of me
Don't expect me to cry,
Don't expect me to lie,
Don't expect me to die,
for thee
(Repeat 1st stanza)
(Repeat chorus)
THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
Tuning:
Riff
We passed upon the stair
()N
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh no not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
BREAK: Riff
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long long time ago
Who knows, Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
BREAK: Riff
Who knows, Not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world
Pennyroyal Tea
Tuning:
Im on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distil the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Im anaemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
Im so tired I cant sleep
Im a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Im anaemic royalty
Im on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavoured antacids
(End on )
Nirvana Dumb
Tuning:
I'm not like thE5 But I can pretend
The sun is gone But I have a light
The day is done But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
my heart is broke But I have some glue
help me inhale And mend it with you
We'll float around And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down And have a hangover...
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Have a hangover
Skin the sun Fall asleep
Wish away soul is cheap
Lesson learned Wish me luck
Soothe the burn Wake me up
I'm not like thE5 But I can pretend
The sun is gone But I have a light
The day is done But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
Think I'm just happy
I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb
I think I'm dumb I think I'm dumb
Nirvana Polly
Tuning:
-
Polly wants a cracker
-
Think I should get off of her first
-
I think she wants some water
-
To put out the blow torch
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I've got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don't hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
-
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
-
A chase would be nice for a few
-
Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct
(chorus)
Nirvana On a Plain
Tuning:
I'll start this off
Without any words
I got so high that
I scratched 'til I bled
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The finest day
That I ever had
Was when I learned
To cry on command
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
--
I'm on a plain
--
I can't complain
--
I'm on a plain
My mother died
Every night
It's safe to say
Don't quote me on that
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
The black sheep got
Blackmailed again
Forgot to put
On the zip code
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
--
I'm on a plain
--
I can't complain
--
I'm on a plain
--
Somewhere I have heard this before
--
In a dream my memory has stored
-
As defence I'm neutered and spayed
-
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don't make a sense
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
One more special
Message to go
And then I'm done
And I can go home
Love myself
Better than you
I know it's wrong
So what should I do?
--
I'm on a plain
--
I can't complain
--
I'm on a plain
--
I can't complain
--
I'm on a plain
--
I can't complain
--
I'm on a plain
--
I can't complain
--
I'm on a plain
--
I can't complain
Title : SOMETHING IN THE WAY
TUNING:
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals i've trapped
Have All become my pets
And Im living off grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
its O.K. eat fish
Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way
Mmmm......
Something in the way
Mmmm......
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals i've trapped
Have All become my pets
And Im living off grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
its O.K. eat fish
Cause they don't have any feelings
Something in the way
Mmmm......
Something in the way
Mmmm......
Mmm ........
Nirvana plateau
Tuning:
riff
Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
riff
When you've finished with the mop then you can stop
And look at what you've done
The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen
And the work it was fun
The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words
riff
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau
Some said it was in Greenland and some say Mexico
Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood
But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could
Title : OH ME
Tuning:
if i had to lose a mile
if i had to touch feelings
i would lose my soul
the way i do
i don't have to think
i only have to do it
the results are always perfect
and that's old news
Refrain :
would you like to hear my voice
sweetened with emotion
invented at your birth?
i can't see the end of me
my whole expanse i cannot see
i formulate infinity
and store it deep inside of me
if i had to lose a mile
if i had to touch feelings
i would lose my soul
the way i do
(Repeat 2nd stanza)
(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)
Coda:
i formulate infinity
and store it deep inside of me
Nirvana lake of fire
Tuning:
~
Where do bad folks go when they die
~
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Go to a lake of fire and fry
See 'em again till the Fourth of July
I knew a lady Came from Duluth
Bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
Flew and laid down on the yellow moon
Where do bad folks go when they die
~
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Go to a lake of fire and fry
See 'em again till the Fourth of July
I knew a lady Came from Duluth
Bit by a dog with a rabid tooth
She went to her grave just a little too soon
Flew and laid down on the yellow moon
People cry People moan
Look for a dry place to call their home
Try to find some place to rest their bones
While the angels and the devils try to make their own
Where do bad folks go when they die
~
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Go to a lake of fire and fry
See 'em again till the Fourth of July
Nirvana all apologies
Tuning: Drop
x4
What else should I be all apologies
What else should I say; everyone is gay
What else could I write; I don't have the right
What else should I be; all apologies
In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun I'm []married
Burried (yah, yah, yah, yeah)
I wish I was like you; easily amused
Find my nest of salt; everything's my fault
I'll take all the blame; aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezer burn
Choking on the ashes of her enemies
In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
In the sun, in the sun I'm []married
Burried (yah, yah, yah, yeah)
Married, []Burried (yah, yah, yah, yeah)
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
All in all is all we are
where_did_you_sleep_last_night
tuning:
My girl, my girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In the palace, in the palace where the sun don't ever shine
I'll 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 would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, where will you go
I'm going where the cold wind blows
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
