I wish to add just a couple of info which may be helpful

a) strumming pattern: in the verse it is

d/du/du/du/du/du/u/du

in the chorus

d/du/u/du


b) intro riff:please notice that it starts with a 1,5 pick-up beats (anticipation), so when you play count 1and,2and,3, then start with

u/du

then go on with the complete pattern


Last thing: Nirvana play it with alternate picking but if you wish an harder version you could play it with downstrokes only

Cheers

Just a little info for future reference - when writing out tabs, it's easier to write them out in notepad, then copy them out to your post by using the "code" option....example....


d----------0000------------------l-----------0000----------| A----------2222------------------l-----------3333----------| F----------2222------------------l----4444---2222----------| C----4444--2222------------------l----4444---0000----------| G----4444--0000---"memoria"------l----2222------"I swear...| D----2222------------------------l-------------------------| As long as the tab lines up in notepad, it'll line up nicely in the final post, no matter what it looks like before you submit. And it doesn't half save a lot of messing about editing!

:D :D :D

First. this song, and a couple others on Nirvana's Nevermind ("lithium" and "drain you"). You'll need to drop the tuning on your guitar one full step.
From E A D G B e -- to --> Eb G# C# F#Bb eb -- and finally --> D G C F A d.

Second. if you want to recreate the effects in this song, use a small clone chorus pedal for the verse. and for the chorus and the solo use a distortion pedal and the small clone

Verse

G--------------0--0-------------2--2-
D--0--0--1--2--2--2--2--1--0--0--- repeat
