Ok, this is definitely one of my favorite songs toplay just because is it so
insane and agressive. I have seen a lot of bad transcriptions of this song, but this one should be fairly accurate. Thanks to RocksNotDead.comfor the lyrics. You can
totally improv them like Kurt did, though.
Ok, I ampretty sure that this is in a standardtuning (very unusual for
Kurt).
