This one of Nirvana's most memorable songs and it's also easy to play 
and sounds cool. I don't know if this is 100% tab but it sounds right 
to me. I don't know if theres actually another version of this going 
round but if there is then I've added a little bit down the bottom so 
that you can show off to all yer mates. I suggest you listen to the 
CD/TAPE to get the timings right because I havn't marked them in. 
There are various little fills between the chorus/verse but they are 
not that important (sorry kurt).

Intro/verse:
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|        Play 4 times for the intro
|-----------------------------------|        And about ten for the verse.
|-----------------------------------|
|---------0---0---------2---2---2---|
|-0-0-1-2---2---2-2-1-0---0---0---0-|
        "Come as you are......."

Then go onto this part.
Chorus:
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|    Play this bit for
|-4/6---666666--4/6---66666---------|    about 10 times
|-4/6---666666--4/6---66666---------|
|-2/4---444444--2/4---44444---------|
"memoriiiiiiiiiaaaaaa.....!

Now play the whole thing through again. In the second verse you only 
play the riff 5 times.

Bridge:
After that start playing these two chord about 10 times. 

|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|            
|-----------------------------------|
|-8/11---11-11-11-11----------------|
|-8/11---11-11-11-11----------------|
|-6/9----9--9--9--9-----------------|
"Well I swear that I don't have a gun"

Now comes the best part of the song. While Krist plays the 
verse/intro riff on the Bass Kurt Plays the solo. The solo goes a bit 
like this, it's fairly basic but it sounds alright

|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-6~~~~~-6-9-11-6-9-11-6-9-11^14----|          Play this 3 or four 
|-----------------------------------|          Times.
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|

Then repeat the chorus 
(mmmmmmeeeeeeeeemmmmmmooooooorrrriiiiiiiiiaaaaaaaa) and after that 
repeat the bridge.

My mate showed me how to play this so blame her if it sounds dodgy. 
She did this at a concert and it sounded great. There was the lead 
singer singing and playing the normal riff while she was playing 
along with the guys voice. here it's easier to explain in tab.

Lyric bit: Verse
|-----------------------------------|
|--------5--------5------5-7-7_-----|
|-6~~~~~------6-6---6-6-------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------|

Chorus:
|---------------||
|-5-------------||
|---4/6--\4_2-2-||
|---------------||
|---------------||

Bridge:
|----------------------||
|-7--7-7--6\4----------||
|-------------7-4-7_4--||
|----------------------||
