NIRVANA - "you know youre right5" Tablature

Official NIRVANA Tablature & Sheet Music »

This is the CORRECT way to play a cool Nirvana song that went
unreleased for eight years before it sprang up on the internet.
Look for Nirvana (The greatest hits cd) to come out on November 12.



First Verse:

--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
--------4---4-------------------------------
-----4----4---4-4----4---4--4---4----4---4--
-0h2---------------0---2------2---2----2----
(clean, palm-muted)


"Never speak a word again" has these two chords:
------------------------------------
-7--------------9-------------------
-7--------------9-------------------
-7--------------9-------------------
-5--------------7-------------------
------------------------------------
(distorted)

Second verse:

-------------------------
-------------------------
-------4-----------------
-----4---------4-4------- (then mostly 4 on D-string)
---4---------4-----------
-2---------2-------------
(clean)

"Things have never"
-------------------------------------
----7------7-------9------9----------
------7------7-------9------9--------
--------7--------------9-------------
-5---------------7-------------------
-------------------------------------
(clean)


Chorus (distorted):

-------------------------
-------------------------
-------------------------
-4-4-4-4---4-4--4-4-4---- (4x)
-4-4-4-4---4-4--4-4-4----
-0h2-2-2---0h2--2-2-2----

(repeat the chords a few times)
------------------------------------
-7--------------9-------------------
-7--------------9-------------------
-7--------------9-------------------
-5--------------7-------------------
------------------------------------


Third verse: finish off distorted part in chorus with

------------------14--^(16)--^(14)--
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
-0-2-2-2----------------------------


No guitar in the first part, then
palm-muted/arpeggiated F#5 power chord on the
lower three strings


Chorus (repeated)


The solo (starting at around 2:26) goes something
like this (not quite exactly as I'm just going
to post the notes, but you can use your ears to
get the rhythm and how many times each note is
played, etc. :)



------------------------------------
-------------4^(5)-----7^(9)--------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
-0-2---2--2-------------------------

Then back to messing around with 0-2 on the
low-E string and/or the E5 and F#5 chords.

Throw in these riffs (the first one most of the
time, and the second one just once I
think):

------------------------------------
--------------5^(7)-----------------
-4-3-4-3----------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------

--------------4^(6)-----------------
------------------------------------
-4-3-4-3----------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------
------------------------------------

The main part ends with that first riff and
the last note feedbacking and maybe bent a little (not a continuous bend).

In the end part with mostly just the drums,
there are some muted notes done. I'm not sure
exactly how, but I'd suspect it's one
of these two ways:

1)

-------16-------16-
----16------16-----
-16----------------
-------------------
-------------------
-------------------

with palm-muting, or

2) the same pattern but fretting the 4th
fret, and pinch harmonics done by picking on the 16th fret.

I don't think these are quite natural
harmonics, unless they're done on the 4th fret with
some effect that lowers it down an
octave or changes the harmonic patten a lot
(which is possible).

They might also be done behind the bridge, but not
having that type of bridge, I'm not able to try that out.

Lyrics:
I will never bother you
I will never promise to
I will never follow you
I will never promise to

If I say that word again
I would crawl away for good

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid to fear
No thought was put into this
Always knew it'd come to this

Things have never been so swell
I have never felt so well

Pain (x3)

You know you're right (x3)

Whisper and I'll come inside
I no longer have to hide
let's talk about someone else
Steaming, soon begins to melt

Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid to fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew it'd come to this

Things have never been so swell
I have never felt so well

Pain (x5)

You know you're right (x17)

Pain


There you go
