Nirvana - About a Girl,
by Kurt Cobain
this is one of my favourite nirvana songs and i'm sick of seeing bad tabs for it;/
if you listen to the song and match the chords i swear you'll find this is right
although it may not at first glace LOOK right, but it is;
[Intro/Verse/Outro]
e|-----0-------2-|
B|-----0-------2-|
G|-----0-------0-|
D|-2-2---0-0-0---| X as many times as you need throughout the verse
A|-2-2---2-2-2---|

From: psalzman@sfsuvax1.sfsu.edu (Peter Salzman)
Subject: CRD: About A Girl
If someone emails me the lyrics, I'll turn this into a really nice TAB
(instead of a spartan CRD). I don't want to offend anyone, but I can't
imagine this taking someone more than 2 min to strumm out, unless they
don't have the album I guess. Oh well. Have no clue to the lyrics,
sorry. There doesn't seem to be any chorus.

Notes:
All apologies for incorrect lyrics -- this is just how I hear
them. No one knows for sure what they are, anyway.
On Bleach, they play this song in standard tuning (EADGBE),
but on Unplugged they played it a half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb
Bb Eb).
Some say the Em is actually an E or an E5. Try 'em all and see what
sounds best to you.

From: psalzman@sfsuvax1.sfsu.edu (Peter Salzman)
Subject: CRD: About A Girl
If someone emails me the lyrics, I'll turn this into a really nice TAB
(instead of a spartan CRD). I don't want to offend anyone, but I can't
imagine this taking someone more than 2 min to strumm out, unless they
don't have the album I guess. Oh well. Have no clue to the lyrics,
sorry. There doesn't seem to be any chorus.
Song: About A Girl
Artist: Nirvana written by Kurt Cobain
CRD'er: Peter Jay Salzman psalzman@stars.sfsu.edu
cut time From Nirvana's Bleach
(also featured on Nirvana's 1993 MTV Unplugged performance)

Notes:
All apologies for incorrect lyrics -- this is just how I hear
them. No one knows for sure what they are, anyway.
On Bleach, they play this song in standard tuning (EADGBE),
but on Unplugged they played it a half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb
Bb Eb).
Some say the Em is actually an E or an E5. Try 'em all and see what
sounds best to you.

Fhe doesn't always play the full chord, but i will tab the full chords
just to keep it simple, just listen to the song it's pretty obvious, when he is only
playing the first 2 or 3 strings, and even
at that no one is going to notice if you just play the full chords
also this is not he unplugged version, that version has more complicated strum patterns,
this the version with the
distorted guitars
