Come As You Are (Ver2) by Nirvana

Bass Tab

Rate for accuracy

🎸

3.5/5 (4 votes)

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.
