Negative Creep tab by Nirvana

Guitar Tab

Atrist: Nirvana
Song: Negative Creep
Album: Bleach (yes their first one)

Heavy Distortion.  Adjust tone to match, it's very deep.  Tune Guitar to
Dropped D.  Kurt played this on Bleach in Standard (D A D G B E), but
also half-step (or E-Flat - Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb) when he played live.
Your choice, but half step sounds better so I tab it like that.

\ or / - Slide up or down
p- Pull off
h- Hammer on
x3 - Play the part 3 times

Verse (same as interlude):
🎸
