Big Long Now
(by Kurdt Kobain)
This depressing song is off of -Incesticide-. I think it was cutely and
perfectly written not just for simplicity but for the feel of it. I do
not know. The verse riff is:
E ---------------
B ---------------
G -------------0- this is played over and over again. The unopen strings
D -----0--------- are played palm muted while the open string are played
A ---8---8---8--- normally.
E -9-------9-----
The song goes:
(Riff)
It~s not cold enough
Please put his side up
She is moon gray
Bb5 A5 G#5 (Riff)
Can we show our faces now
I~m not in a string
She~s not turning gray
Simple as it seems
Bb5 A5 G#5 (Riff)
Can we show our faces now
D5 C#5
Endless climb!
D5 C#5 G5
I am blind
D5 C#5
Why canUy I eat
D5 C#5 G5
Call a lie
D5 C#5
Speaking a phrase
D5 C#5 G5
Instantly grown
D5 C#5
Lord I~m blind
D5 C#5 G5 F#5 F5 F5
Waiting in line
(Riff)
This continues on for another verse and chorus and that is basically the
whole song.

This was pretty simple to work out, the main riff only uses four notes.

Listen to the recording and work out the timing.
For the chorus it's B barred at the 7th fret to E also barred at the 7th
fret.
If anyone can work out the words to this PLEASE can you email them
to me on swelsh@plymouth.ac.uk
A quick word :
I have seen people trying to sell T Shirts with pictures of Kurts dead
body on it. I don't know if suicide is justified but making money out of
it certainly IS NOT so please don't.
