"Plateau" by Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets

    from Nirvana Unplugged



Tune your strings down a half step to match the CD.





This song is pretty easy once you get the hang of the fingerstyle, because

the whole thing is based on two chord fingerings just moved around the

fingerboard. Here they are:  G:320033  Bb:113331



Intro:

|--3-------6-------3-------6-------3-------6-------1----------------

|-------------------------------------------------------------1-----

|------------------------------------------------------0--------0---

|------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0--------------------

|----2-------5-------2-------5-------2-------5----------------------

|--3-------6-------3-------6-------3-------6-------1-------1--------



Play the above 3 times and then once more with the ending like this:



|-------------1------

|--1-----------------

|------0--------0----

|--------------------

|--------------------

|--1-------1---------





The verse is just like the intro except little variations in the fingerstyle

are thrown in:



|--3-------6-------3-------------    -3---------------1-----------------

|--------------------------6-----    ---------6------------------1------

|-------------------------------- or ---------------------0--------0----

|------0-------0-------0-------0-    -----0-------0---------------------

|----2-------5-------2-------5---    ---2-------5-----------------------

|--3-------6-------3-------6-----    -3-------6-------1-------1---------



Also, there is some variation in the ending of the main phrase (like the

intro). Listen to the CD if you want to get all these little quirks exactly.



End the verse with:



|--4---------------|

|------------4-----|

|------0-----------|

|------------------|

|----------3-------|

|--4---------------|





Chorus:



|--3-------3-3-------------------------------------------------------------

Play this 4 times and end with an Asus2 chord.  Asus2:x02200





Lyrics:



Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau.

Some belong to strangers, and some to folks you know.

Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand

to beautify the foothills, shake the many hands.



(CHORUS

Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop and an illustrated book about birds.

You see a lot up there, but don't be scared.

Who needs action when you got words?



When you've finished with the mop then you can stop

and look at what you've done.

The plateau's clean, no dirt to be seen,

and the work, it was fun.



CHORUS



Many a hand began to scan around for the next plateau.

Some say it was Greenland and some say Mexico.

Others decided it was nowhere, except for where they stood.

Those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could.

"Plateau" - Nirvana with the Meat Puppets

From Nirvana's Unplugged

Tab transcription by Mark van 't Zet (tmvtzet@cs.vu.nl)







INTRO - Main riff

  This is played with the following (movable) shapes:

  G        320x33

  Bb       650x66

  Fsus2    1xx011

  Sometimes the riff is varied by playing the highest note

  on string 2 (B) instead of string 1 (E). Takes a bit of

  practising at first. Play it fingerstyle and use you thumb 

  to rake the E, A and D strings. 





VERSE - w/ main riff



  

PRE-CHORUS - 2/4 time, chordshape is similar to main riff.
