Spank Thru
by Kurt Cobain
Tabbed by Alex "Zole" Michaud and Ben LeClair

The intro is played two ways; on demo versions it's something like:
     A          G        D
E-|----------------------2---2-2--|-
B-|--2---2-2-2-----------3---3-3--|-
G-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0--2---2-2--|-
D-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0--0---0-0--|-
A-|--0---0-0-0--2---2-2-----------|-
E-|-------------3---3-3-----------|-
But on some live versions it's just A-open-A like this:
     A          open       A  open
E-|------------------------------|-
B-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0-0--2--0--|-
G-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0-0--2--0--|-
D-|--2---2-2-2--0---0-0-0--2--0--|-
A-|--0---0-0-0--0---0-0-0--0--0--|-
E-|------------------------------|-
The verse is the intro riff with palm muting. For the masturbation
part (I can feel it! I can hold it!) I prefer to just play E and G
but it's really something like: E-|--0--0--3-3--5-3----|- and then
the chorus:

E-|------------------------------------------|-
B-|---------------4--4--4--4/7--7------------|-
G-|---------------4--4--4--4/7--7--pause,----|-
D-|---------------4--4--4--4/7--7--repeat-3x-|-
A-|--0--0--1--2---2--2--2--2/5--5------------|-
E-|------------------------------------------|-

E-|-----------------------------------------------|-
B-|---------------4--4--4--4--4-------------------|-
G-|---------------4--4--4--4--4-------------------|-
D-|---------------4--4--4--4--4--5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-|-  and back to
A-|--0--0--1--2---2--2--2--2--2--5-5-5-5--3-3-3-3-|- the masturbation
E-|------------------------------3-3-3-3--1-1-1-1-|- part.
