Come As You Are tab by Nirvana

Title: Come as You are.
Artist: Nirvana.
Album: Nevermind (originally) also on Unplugged in New york.
Tuning: Detune all strings 1/2 a step to match the cd.
Note:The unplugged version is the same only it’s played on an
acustics.

I suggest you listen to the
song to get the timings right because I havn’t marked them in.
There are various little fills between the chorus/verse but they are
not that important (sorry kurt).


Intro/verse:
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|        Play 4 times for the intro
|-----------------------------------|        And about ten for the verse.
|-----------------------------------|
|---------0---0---------2---2---2---|
|-0-0-1-2---2---2-2-1-0---0---0---0-|
        "Come as you are......."

Then go onto this part.
Chorus:
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|    Play this bit for
|-4/6---666666--4/6---66666---------|    about 10 times
|-4/6---666666--4/6---66666---------|
|-2/4---444444--2/4---44444---------|
"memoriiiiiiiiiaaaaaa.....!


Now play the whole thing through again. In the second verse you only
play the riff 5 times.


Bridge:
After that start playing these two chord about 10 times.

|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-8/11---11-11-11-11----------------|
|-8/11---11-11-11-11----------------|
|-6/9----9--9--9--9-----------------|
"Well I swear that I don’t have a gun"


Now comes the best part of the song. While Krist plays the
verse/intro riff on the Bass Kurt Plays the solo. The solo goes a bit
like this, it’s fairly basic but it sounds alright

|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-6~~~~~-6-9-11-6-9-11-6-9-11^14----|          Play this 3 or four
|-----------------------------------|          Times.
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|


Then repeat the chorus
(mmmmmmeeeeeeeeemmmmmmooooooorrrriiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa) and after that
repeat the bridge.

My mate showed me how to play this so blame her if it sounds dodgy.
She did this at a concert and it sounded great. There was the lead
singer singing and playing the normal riff while she was playing
along with the guys voice. here it’s easier to explain in tab.
