Come As You Are  Bass Tab by Nirvana

Come As You Are bass tab by Nirvana (Ver. 2)

Bass Tab

Tuning: EADG


TUNING NOTE: Novoselic actually tunes his bass down a full step for this
one, but since the song has no notes lower than standard low E, you can
just as easily play it in standard tuning, as I've tabbed it.
