Here's some tab for you. I noticed that there is no good tab for Spank out
there on the net so here's mine.
Spank Thru
by Kurt Cobain
Tabbed by Alex "Zole" Michaud and Ben LeClair
The intro is played two ways; on demo versions it's something like:
A G D
E-|----------------------2---2-2--|-
B-|--2---2-2-2-----------3---3-3--|-
G-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0--2---2-2--|-
D-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0--0---0-0--|-
A-|--0---0-0-0--2---2-2-----------|-
E-|-------------3---3-3-----------|-
But on some live versions it's just A-open-A like this:
A open A open
E-|------------------------------|-
B-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0-0--2--0--|-
G-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0-0--2--0--|-
D-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0-0--2--0--|-
A-|--0---0-0-0--0---0-0-0--0--0--|-
E-|------------------------------|-
The verse is the intro riff with palm muting. For the masturbation
part (I can feel it! I can hold it!) I prefer to just play E and G
but it's really something like: E-|--0--0--3-3--5-3----|- and then
the chorus:
E-|------------------------------------------|-
B-|---------------4--4--4--4/7--7------------|-
G-|---------------4--4--4--4/7--7--pause,----|-
D-|---------------4--4--4--4/7--7--repeat-3x-|-
A-|--0--0--1--2---2--2--2--2/5--5------------|-
E-|------------------------------------------|-
E-|-----------------------------------------------|-
B-|---------------4--4--4--4--4-------------------|-
G-|---------------4--4--4--4--4-------------------|-
D-|---------------4--4--4--4--4--5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-|- and back to
A-|--0--0--1--2---2--2--2--2--2--5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-|- the masturbation
E-|------------------------------3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1-|- part.
Also the solo-??? if you have the solo or the mystery line in the
lyrics _PLEASE_ post them!!
There's a soft, pretentious ...
