This is a bit improvised. Kurt plays this by fretting barre-style so he accidentaly hits occasionally also the g string
from the 4 fret resulting an occasional F#sus4 tonality. The beginning is picking guitar behind bridge in the style
of the main riff. Then the real song starts with this riff palm-muted, the second part with out the palm-muting
and the d-string on fret 4 is used more and also the occasional g string leaks (or they may be intentional?).
2nd verse starts with just bass, then the second part of it is palm-muted.
END OF VERSE/END OF CHORUS (end of 1st verse and on 2nd verse this is arpeggiated w/out distortion)

Let the F# note ring and bend the low E and the feedback should go up and down also. Very hard to make it sound like Kurt.
OUTRO SOLO:
Very improvised noisy solo. Someone might want this tabbed and some will do, but not me.
one part gets repeated a bit:

At the very end it goes back
to picking behind bridge.
I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never bother you
Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never felt so frail
Pain! (x3)
You know you're right (x3)
I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
Sterling silver begins to melt
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew it would come to this
Things have never been so swell
I have never felt this well
Pain! (x5)
You know you're right (x17)
Pain ...
