Nirvana - Sappy
Guitar - Kurt Cobain
From various Nirvana bootlegs, also known as Verse-Chorus-Verse,
and occasionaly 'I Hate Myself And Want To Die'
(although is also the title of another Nirvana song. Weird!)
I have actually never found the song in this key but it works best for my voice but mess around and put it in whatever key suits you. Most of the versions i've heard are in D and that includes the one from the "second sub-pop album" demos which have only been released on bootleg. Anyway here it is.
VERSE:
B5 B5 G5 E5
F#5 F#5 G5 A5
(Play this part with a three finger powerchord and pick through the strings)
(X4)
CHORUS:
B5 G5 E5 (X1)
G5 E5 (VARIOUS TIMES)
This bit is strummed.
PLAY VERSE-CHORUS-VERSE
There are loads of different versions of the songs solo so we decided that it would be better and less confusing if we left it out. It's better just to improvise with pentatonic minor scales
over the powerchords.
This an example of a pentatonic minor scale (demonstrating in E, open then an octave higher, but the same pattern apllies for every position):
e|---------------------0-3-| e|-------------------------------12-15-|
B|-----------------0-3-----| B|-------------------------12-15-------|
G|-------------0-2---------| G|-------------------12-14-------------|
D|---------0-2-------------| D|-------------12-14-------------------|
A|-----0-2-----------------| A|-------12-14-------------------------|
E|-0-3---------------------| E|-12-15-------------------------------|
The key of B works best for this version of the song but if you wanna do it the way Kurt did it play whatever the hell you like
Have fun!!!!!!! Don't forget Kurt! And remember it's better to burn out that to fade away!!!
