From Nirvana's album "in utero"
By kurt Cobain
"Milk It"
Tab by Sam Oates this is all my own work
 
i'd like to thank the other guy who tabbed this song although it was
wrong it was as he said a good starting point here's a more or less 100%
version. Standard tuning
 
intro 1= and verse  the first part of the intro is just using a couple of
notes to come up with a dreary line for the bass. These are just a couple
of notes but he improvised, use them in any order.
muted..................
|----------------------------|
|--------------------------9-|may up the rest
|-----------------------5----|but the last 2 notes are plyed
|------2-----6-7-8-9-10------|louder than the others
|-8-7------------------------|every now and again
|-6------4-3-----------------|
 
after the bass line repeats he pauses then continues
intro 2
 w distortion......................
|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|
|--------9-9-----------------------|
|-8-8-8--9-9--5-0-5-5-5-5-5--0-0-0-|

|--------9-9-------|
|-8-8-8--9-9--5-0-5|
|-8-8-8--7-7--5-0-5| pause
|-6-6-6--0-0--3-0-3|
repeat this however many times according to cd and on the last time
instead of pausing you finish it off without distortion
then go into verse 1 which is basically intro 1 and some more improv
notes

again heavy distortion
