NIRVANA - "floyd the barber" Tablature

From: ag725@FreeNet.Carleton.CA (Rick Scaia)

Floyd the Barber
by Kurt Cobain

As interpreted by Rick Scaia (ag725@freenet.carleton.ca)

The primary riff for this tune is just an F power chord (for two quarter
notes) then a quick slide down to a heavily muted E power chord (two
eighths and a quarter note). If you've heard the song, it's pretty
easy. The chorus and solo aren't much more difficult.


Intro: F E F E


Verse:

F E F E
Hello toilet trained, come on in
F E F E
Floyd observes my hairy chin
F E F E
"Sit down in the chair, don't be afraid."
F E F E
Steaming hot towel on my face


Chorus:

C# A C G#
I was
C# A C G#
sha-a-a-a-a-a-a-ved, I'm
C# A C G#
asha-a-a-a-a-a-a-med, I was
C# A C G#
sha-a-a-a-a-a-a-ved, I'm
C# A C G#
asha-a-a-a-a-a-a-med


Main riff twice


Verse 2:

[Something indecipherable] in the room
Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered, Andy's not

Main riff twice


Verse 3


Chorus


Main riff once, then bass only on main riff, then drums only.
[If you're just playing alone, just play it three time, and mute
it more each time until the third time is extremely percussive sounding.]
