"About A Girl" - Nirvana
Taken from the album "Bleach"
Tabbed by Tim Millard (millartj@wilkes1.wilkes.edu)
Standard tuning (EADGBE)

when I've seen this song played live, Kurt doesn't use those chords.  Also, 
the existing tab left out some parts of the song, especially the 
solo.  This will hopefully remedy that.

And, of course, listen to CD for timings and shit, repeat everything as 
needed, yadda yadda yadda...

Intro / Verse:

For this part, you REALLY should listen to the CD for the timings, because 
they're random at times...
