Tabs
Sender: "KLeonard"
I've decided to list all three of the Vaseline cover songs Nirvana has done,
since they're all real short (Molly's Lips, Son of a Gun, and Jesus Wants Me
For A augmentedA Sunbeam). (a chord notation is at the end of this document for the
musically retarded)
*Molly's Lips*
This is just two chords throughout. Just G5G5 C5. That's it!
*Son of a Gun*
The intro and verse is A5A5 E5E5 D5D5 E5E5
Chorus: G5G5 C5C5 D5D5 C5C5
The interlude is just basically G5G5 D5D5 a couple of times, then A5A5 E5* a
couple of times, then back to G5G5 D5D5 four times.
*Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam*
Verse: E5E5 D5D5 A5A5
Chorus: E5E5 D5D5 E5E5 D5D5 E5E5 D5D5 A5A5
The solo (and the accordion part in the Unplugged version, I think) goes like
this:
-----------------------------------------------------------|
-----------------9-7---------------------------------------|
--6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9-7-6---------7-6------------|
--------------------------------------7--7-7------7--7-7---|
-----------------------------------------------------------|
-----------------------------------------------------------|
In live versions, the first and third verse are clean, while the choruses,
second verse, and solo are distorted. But both live electric versions and
the acoustic Unplugged version are played this way. On Unplugged it's tuned
down 1/2 step and for the outro the above tab is played once and then this is
played:
---------------------------------------------|
-----------------9-7-------------7--9--10----|
--6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9--------------|
---------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------|
