The Man Who Sold The World Acoustic chords by Nirvana

Chords with lyrics

Simple song but first tab so go easy, constructive criticism appreciated, childish abuse
so

Standard tuning, capo on 4th, (or if you don't have one just cut a chopstick in half and
it down to the fretboard with a shoestring or something)

Just experiment with different strumming patterns, I tried a cheeky
'D-D-U-U-D-U' and it seemed to was listenable. Just make sure you hit the high strings
the upstrokes.

For an easy little intro on the one string, see the tab below (s=slide, repeat 3 or 4
and in between verses).

Alternatively, just mess around with E MajorE and A minorAm for an intro.

e --------------------------------------------------------|
BB --------------------------------------------------------|
G+G --------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD ----2-2-2-0-2s3-2-0-------------------------------------|
A augmentedA --------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE --------------------------------------------------------|

(Nothing played here) E MajorE
We passed upon the stair
           A minorAm
We spoke of was and when
          E MajorE
Although I wasn't there
           C majorC
He said I was his friend

  C majorC         G+G
Which came as a sur-prise
         E MajorE
I spoke into his eyes
         A minorAm
I thought you died alone
          G+G
A augmentedA long long time a-go

  C majorC
Oh no, not me        (mess around with high e string here if you like)
  FF       C majorC
We never lost con-trol
G+G        C majorC
You're face to face
     FF        E MajorE
With The Man Who Sold The World        (repeat Intro here)

            E MajorE
I laughed and shook his hand
           A minorAm
And made my way back home
            E MajorE
I searched for form and land
            C majorC
For years and years I roamed

          G+G
I gazed a gazeless stare
          E MajorE
At all the millions here
          A minorAm
I must have died a-lone
          G+G
A augmentedA long, long time a-go

   C majorC
Who knows?
  C majorC
Not me
  FF       C majorC
We never lost con-trol
    G+G    C majorC
You're face to face
     FF        E MajorE
With the Man who Sold the World   A minorAm

Optional; repeat the last bit
