Tabs

Band: Nirvana
Song: Rape Me (Solo Acoustic, 1992)
Album: With the Lights Out (Box Set) 2004

I've gotten so many bad tabs off the internet, and wasted a lot of time finding out that it's bad.
Kurt was one of my favorite song writers, this song is raw kurt, getting it done. He thought
of music as an expression, the words were not always a priority to him, in my humble opinion
he was creating a piece of art for people to enjoy for all time. Here is my best attempt to
capture his raw natural talent; voice, guitar, and thankfully a tape recorder...it's timeless...

Full Lyrics

Check, Check, Check, Check, Check...
(kurt slaps his guitar lightly five times)
Rape me.................
Rape me........and then................
father........
just take me, rape me again, son.......
As soon as my embarrassment's my gone....free.....
I'm not a lonely one...see.....
Must mean I meant to you....free....
He was a nasty guest.....flame.......
Rape me.....rape me again, someone discrace me
Face me and then
Wait up both of them
Then
Grind'em into the ground
Wait
Over the path he's made
Is frayed
I'm not something dead
Sick
Convention
Going to the source
Inside aah tension and me
Rape me again
Father knows
And I'm my own elite reforce
Hey
He was a nasty guest
Fall
And never once I said
Fall
Fall into his nest
Oh
Wake me
Make me do it again
Save me
Save me young friend
Soon I have found recourse
Hey
On my life and more
Say
I'm not alive anymore
Hey
I'm not a country horse
Say
I'm not a man that's wired
I'm not a smorgasbord
Ahhh
Hate me
Ya hate me again
Ya hate me again
