SONG: Pen Cap Chew ARTIST: Nirvana ALBUM: (unreleased) AUTHOR: Kurt Cobain PUBLISHER: (unpublished) TUNING: Eb Ab Db Gb Once you master the progression of the interlude, Pen Cap Chew is easy to play. For those of you who don’t know, Pen Cap Chew is a Bleach outtake; Pen Cap Chew, If You Must, and an alternate version of Spank Thru were the only three songs not released out of the ten recorded with drummer Dale Crover. The other seven were systematically released on either Bleach or Incesticide. All guitars are tuned half a step down.
