Serve the Servants
Words and music by Kurt Cobain
From Nirvana's In Utero (1993)
Transcribed by Robert Wolsey

To play along with the CD (or any boots of the last tour), 
tune down a half step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.

I still don't know the opening chord, but I've pretty  much 
figured out the rest of it, partly by watching the Oakland 
video.  I'm not great at naming chords, so help me out here. 
Here are the fingerings for the chords used:  

       E A D G B E
Bm7    x 2 4 2 x x
Em7?   x x 2 4 3 x *
F#?    2 4 4 3 0 0 * 
E      0 2 2 1 0 0
A      5 7 7 6 5 5
C#     x 4 6 6 6 4
G      3 5 5 4 3 3

* name that chord!
