The Come as you Are, Territorial Pissings, Something in the way,
On a plain and polly were transcribed by me, as I didn't have the
TABs for them available at the moment.

**Smells Like Teen Spirit**
A good way to get the Nirvana "Grunge" sound is just
to use very heavy metal distortion plus very thick chorus,
with the pickup selector in the bridge (furthest back)
position.

With the lights out, it's less dangerous. Here

VERSE 3:
(No guitar)
And I forget just why I taste. Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile.
I found it hard. It was hard to find. Oh well whatever, nevermind.
Chorus and playout:
mosquito. My libido. A
denial. A denial. A
<denial repeated until song ends>
**In Bloom**
This is the main riff played throughout the intro. The
chorus is a bit different, but I think it uses the same
chords. There is no guitar during the verses, only bass.
