About A Girl
as recorded by Nirvana
from the Bleach album
(also featured on Nirvana's 1993 MTV Unplugged performance)
words and music by the late, great Kurt Cobain
transcribed by Robert Wolsey

Tuning:  Standard on Bleach:  E A D G B E
         Half step down on Unplugged: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

Notes:  There's controversy about whether the first chord is 
an E or E minor.  I go with Em, because playing the third (G# 
on the G string) seems to mess it up.  Some say to just mute 
that string.  For the chorus, play barre chords.

Now, I posted an all power chord version of this song not too long ago
which is the way the song is played on the album (Nevermind).  When you
ask for the 'acoustic' version of this song I'm not sure what you mean. 
Do you mean the open chord version?
     If so, then here's what you can do.  I'm sending at the end of this
letter the power chord version that I posted before.  The open chord
version has basically the same chords: E G D C for the lyrics and D C G
A# for the chorus. These are all simple major open chords chords and
when I play it this way, I use a barre major shape on the 6th fret for
the A# chord of the chorus.  I hope this helps, please let me know of
any problems. 
 
Thanx,
-Philip F. Gomez
 
PS. -Here's the power chord version of "Polly."
     Note:  Played as it is, it does sound good on an acoustic as well.

Lyrics (according to the Lithium single):
 
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
 
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
 
Polly said...
Polly says her back hurts
And she's just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct
 
It isn't me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don~t hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I~ve got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don~t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
 

This is how I play the song. I make no guarantees as to its accuracy.
For those interested, a good way to get the Nirvana "Grunge" sound is
just to use very heavy metal distortion plus very thick chorus.

Key:
     p - pull off from previous note
     s - slide to 
     b - bend (or unbend) note until it sounds like the next one
     x - strike strings muted lightly w/left hand 


Main line:                                        Riff:     
 2x w/o distortion.                                repeat as   
 4x with distortion + chorus)                      desired. . .

Well, I have noticed a few mistakes, so here is the corrected verson, 
ready for submission.

Normal Tuning is used, like all the other songs on Nevermind that I know of.
The guitar is quite distorted throughout the song, except where noted.

Intro:
e--------------------------------------------------------------------
b--------------------------------------------------------------------
g--------------------------------------------------------------------
d-8---8--5----5--5---3---3--6----6--6---8---8--5----5--5---3---3--6-x
a-8---8--5----5--5---3---3--6----6--6---8---8--5----5--5---3---3--6-x
E-6---6--3----3--3---1---1--4----4--4---6---6--3----3--3---1---1--4-x
      ^       ^  ^       ^       ^  ^       ^       ^  ^       ^
Strums are in sync with drum beats, and ones marked with ^ are especially 
so, so they are hard to notice.  Listen to the album.

Then do this twice...

e----------------------------------------
b----------------------------------------
g----------------------------------------
d-8---8--xx4---4--xx11/13--13--xx9---7---
a-8---8--xx4---4--xx11/13--13--xx9---7---
E-6---6--xx2---2--xx09/11--11--xx7---5---
      ^       ^           ^^
Bass only for first half of verse, then guitar joins in on second half.
Thanks to Aarom Bernay for comming close to the actual chords here.  Here 
is how I now think it's done

   Spring is here    a-gain
   Re  -  product -ive glands    AAANNNDD
e -1---1-1-xx2---2-2-xx3---3-3----------
b -3---3-3-xx2---2-2-xx4---4-4-xx4---2--
g -3---3-3-xx3---3-3-xx3---3-3-xx4---2--
d -3---3-3-xx4---4-4-xx1---1-1-xx4---2--
a --------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------
       @	 @	   @
Strums pointed at with @s here are upward strums. ( I think)  This is 
with clean guitar, and what makes me think this may not be it is that it 
is so much tougher than the rest of the song, besides the solo.

He also submitted his version of the chorus.  He was right, and I have 
changed mine to reflect it.
The chorus is pretty well drowned out by the lyrics, but it's like 
this..(back to distortion, of course!)

a-8----8--5----5--5---
d-8----8--5----5--5---
E-5----5--3----3--3---
       ^       ^  ^
four times,

then

a-10----10--13----13--13---
d-10----10--13----13--13---
E-08----08--11----11--11---
        ^         ^   ^
repeated twice.

And, as the chorus is repeated twice, do this again for the second rep.

Now play the same chords played at the beginning of the intro (the four 
in the first few lines of the tab).  However, don't mute the last chord, 
and treat the second half of the line as if it were identical to the 
first half.  Instead of the mute, strum it twice more, then mute right 
when the verse starts.

Verse two is played exactly like verse one.

Then do the chorus routine again, and the intro/chorus chords again just 
like the first time, but go into a weird guitar solo instead of the usual 
verse routine.

For the third chorus, the first rep is the same as always, but for the 
second rep, repeat the "knows not what it means" riff two extra times, 
because "knows not what it means" is repeated two extra times.

Then, as usual after a chorus, do the riffs first seen in the intro, same 
old routine used after the chorus every other time, but add one more e#5 
chord at the end, muted after one second.

That's it.  The solo is beyond my musical skills to figure out now, but 
everything else is here.

Will somebody PLEASE transcribe that dang solo?

This is just a three-chord song:  A, F#, D,  probably played as follows:

                                       A   F#   D
                                   E --5-----------

When I was an alien, cultures weren't opinion.

A                    F#              D
Gotta find a way, to find a way, I'd better wait. (x2)

A     F#    D          A     F#     D
Never met a wise man.  If so it's a woman

A                    F#              D
Gotta find a way, to find a way, I'd better wait.

Even if you have
Even if you need
I don't mean to stare
We don't have to breed
We could plant a house
We could build a tree
I don't even care
We could have all three

Underneath the bride
the tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
and the drippings from the ceiling
But it's okay to eat fish
'cause they haven't any feelings

Tune down 1/2-step:  Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

NOTE: These are the chords you are pretending to play; the 
actual chords that come out are a half-step lower because of 
the tuning.  Play A-barre chords on the chorus.


Am                 G
Im on my time with everyone

Am              G
I have very bad posture

C             D          A# 
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

C                D               A#
Distill the life thats inside of me

C             D          A#
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea

C     D   A#
Im anemic royalty


Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally

Im so tired I cant sleep
Im a liar and a thief
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Im anemic royalty

Im on warm milk and laxatives
Cherry-flavored antacids

(End on Am)


Tips:  Slide up fron the C barre to the D barre during the 
chorus.  During the verse, play F# G E on the low E string as 
the change between the G and Am.


     E A D G B e
Am   x 0 2 2 1 0
G    3 2 0 0 0 3
C    x 3 5 5 5 3

I use X to indicate the string not being played at all (not meaning dampened)

At the part " I'm very ape and very nice " the guitar is:

A A# and G on the g string sound like the right notes but i can't seem to
