From: rte@Hopper.itc.Virginia.EDU (Ritchie Eppink) "Downer" -- Nirvana Starts off with bass doing: E-----0-0-0-0-0-8-8-8--0-0-0-0-0-8-8-8----- (It sound chopped up, as does most of the song, because the entire thing was dubbed over top of itself with a short delay.) Then the gitter comes in: E------------5-------------------5----------- B--2---------5---------2---------5----------- G--2---------5---------2---------5----------- D--2---------5---------2---------5----------- A--2---------3---------2---------3----------- E--0-------------------0--------------------- The verse is bass only, doing the same the intro stuff. On "Fight!", the gitter comes in again: D---10\-|---------------------------------------| A---10\-|--5--6-7-6--5-6-7-6--5--6-7-6--5-6-7-6-| the last measure is played E----8\-|---------------------------------------| twice Then the gitter does this (in sync w/the bass): G------------5-5-5------------5-5-5--- D--2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5--2-2-2-2-2-5-5-5--- A--2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3--2-2-2-2-2-3-3-3--- E--0-0-0-0-0--------0-0-0-0-0--------- Then it goes into the chorus ("Somebody served a dinner..."): G------------8----9--------------8----9---- D--7----8----8----9----7----8----8----9---- A--7----8----6----7----7----8----6----7---- E--5----6--------------5----6-------------- ...and the rest follows these segments, and ends abruptly on an E power chord.
