Artist-Nirvana
Song-Lithium, off of the album "Nevermind"
Tabbed by Chris, PyRoMaNiaK182
Tuning- Half a step down (dropped D sharp) but sounds ok standard.

h= hammer on

I've looked at everyone else's tabs for Lithium, and I listened to the song and
this is the way I play it. It's A little bit different than the tabs I've seen,
but I'm sure it's 100% correct.
