Nirvana - You Know You're Right (Bass Tab)
Transcribed by Jam_Farmer (jam_farmer@hotmail.com) [09/11/2002]
Pretty easy song, just two riffs for the bass (I suppose they don't get much easier, really)
Riff1 is very like Alice in Chains' "Would", so that might help you get the hang of it.
This has been transcribed after listening to both the live and studio versions, but I didn't
transcribe it until now because the live version is very unclear. Lyrics are all taken from studio version.
The only lyrics I'm unsure of is the line with the (?) next to it. Otherwise I consider them
pretty much perfect (Corrections are always welcome to jam_farmer@hotmail.com)
Tuned down one-half step (Eb Ab Db F#)

[Verse] [0:24]
I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never bother you
Never say a word again (Riff 2)
I will crawl away from you
I will move away from here (Riff 1)
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
and I always new it would come to this
Things have never been so swell (Riff 2)
I have never failed to fail
[Chorus] [0:57]
Paaaa-aaaaai-aaaai-aaaaain (Riff 1)
Paaaa-aaaaai-aaaai-aaaaain
Paaaa-aaaaai-aaaai-aaaaain (Riff 2)
You know you're right (Riff 2)
You know you're right
You know you're right
[Verse] [1:26]
I'm so warm and calm inside (Riff 1)
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
Stained silver 'gins to melt (?)
Nothing ever bothers her (Riff 2)
She just wants to love himself
I will move away from here (Riff 1)
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
and I always new it would come to this
Things have never been so swell (Riff 2)
I have never failed to fail
[Chorus] [1:59]
Paaaa-aaaaai-aaaai-aaaaain (Riff 1)
Paaaa-aaaaai-aaaai-aaaaain
Paaaa-aaaaai-aaaai-aaaaain
Paaaa-aaaaai-aaaai-aaaaain
Paaaa-aaaaai-aaaai-aaaaain (Riff 2)
You know you're right (Riff 1) (Guitar feedback begins here)
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right
You know you're right (Paaaa-aaaaain-aaaain-aaaaain)
You know you're right (Paaaa-aaaaain-aaaain-aaaaain)
You know you're right (Paaaa-aaaaain-aaaain-aaaaain)
You know you're right (Paaaa-aaaaain-aaaain-aaaaain)
Paaaa-aaaaain-aaaain-aaaaain (Bass drops out, just drums for a few bars, then guitar until end)
