That's basically it. Sorry I couldn't go into much detail on how to play it,
but this isn't my own tabbing so I didn't have much to work with.

"School" by Nirvana
(standard tuning and everything)

hb = half bend             fb = full bend
/ = slide up

for the intro, bang the back of the neck so the strings vibrate and all that.
 then play the main riff:

--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
--0--0-0-5hb-0-0-5hb-0-0-0-0-0-5fb--

chorus:
C5  (x355xx)   A5  (577xxx)   E5  (022xxx)   D5  (x577xx)

i'm not sure about the bridge, but it's something like this:
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
----------7------7----7---7--7--7--7/--
--7--7-7----7-7----7-------------------
----------------------------------------

that's about it for the tab.  i have no idea on the solo.  here's the lyrics
(all 15 words):
Won't you believe it is ...
