Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2000 20:06:23 -0400 From: cowguy4017@att.net Subject: n/nirvana/heart-shaped_box.tab Song: Heart-Shaped Box Artist: Nirvana (u.s) Album: In Utero Camparisong: All the other versions were incomlete or inadiquit, so I decided to sit down and make my own, oh yeah, this thing was a bitch to make so enjoy it for gods sake, and my name is Mike B. i tabed this Ok, heres a great song by the greatest musician ever. If you want to play the song along with the record, your gunna have to tune down half a step and then drop D tuning, so, from lowest to highest, its D flat,A flat,D flat,G flat,B flat, E flat But when my band plays it, I just drop D, its a lot easier that way, ok, and off we go, but keep in mind this is my first tab thang, so excuse some mistakes, but I think this is almost 100% correct...oh yes this song was written for two guitars, but it can be easily played with one, I'll point out where and what not B=bend 1/2 step /=slide Main Jig, and intro (when plyed live, kurt adds a few notes here and there, but I am far to lazy to tab that) ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ -------2------------------------------2--- -----2---2-----3---------0----0-----2---2- ---0---------3---3-----0----0---0-0------- -----------3-------0---------------------- ----------------------- ----------------------- -----------2/4-4-4--4-- -----3-------------3--3 ---3---3--------------- -3-------0------------- Play the main "jig" once for the intro, and then four times for the 1st verse, and on the last time, when he slides from the A to the B, distortion kicks in And now the chours, distorted ------------------------------------------ -------B---------B-----------------B------ --2-2--4---------4---------4-4-4---4------ --2-2-------3-3---------0--------3-------- --0-0-------3-3---------0----------------- ------------3-3---------0----------------- Hey! Wait! (let the sound of the D cord ring) Play the chours 6 times I believe, each time And then, after the sixth time, play this, well call this "Thing C", also distorted ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------B------------------------------------ ----------------4-4-4-4----------------2/4-4-4---4--- --3--3--3--3--0---------3--3--3--3--0----------3---3- --3--3--3--3--0---------3--3--3--3--0---------------- --3--3--3--3--0---------3--3--3--3--0---------------- Your Advice..............! (again, let the two D cords ring) And heres the SOLO ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------B-------B---------------------------------- -0-0-12------10--3--8--7-5-3-2------------------- ---------5-5-----3------------------------------- Solo (continued) I think the whole solo is distored, but, if you want to get the athentisitie of it all, play the solo with a chorus/flanger pedal up on high, you get this really cool sound, and its how kurt plays it live ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ------B-------B----------------2-------- -0-0-12------10--3--8--6-5-3-2-0-------- ---------5-5-----3---------------------- Let the last A cord ring out as the bass and drums go through there parts twice by them selfs, and then, come in with this ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------2-------------2/4-4-4---4------ ----------------------2---2-----3-------------3---3---- --0-----------------0---------3---3-------------------- --------3-----0-------------3-------0------------------ She eyes me... After the last chours, play this first part three times and then the second part once Let the last note ring for a while, this is the outro. And now your done! (first part) (second part) ------------------------|----------------------------- ----------------B-------|----------------------------- ----------------4-4-4-4-|---------------4-4-4-4------- --3--3--3--3--0---------|3--3--3--3--0----------3-3--- --3--3--3--3--0---------|3--3--3--3--0---------------- --3--3--3--3--0---------|3--3--3--3--0---------------- Now lets put all this Jibber Jabber, as Mr. T would say, in order Intro- One time Verse- 4 times Chorus- 6 times Thing C- One time Verse- 4 times Chorus- 6 times Thing C- One time Solo Special Verse Chorus- 6 times Then that outro thang What a wild ride.....OK, so if got any Questions, comments, suggetions, E-mail me at Cowguy4017@worldnet.att.net, and, uh, if your ever in Wisconsin and need a band to play, E-mail me to, thanks, speacial thanks to lukas
