NIRVANA - In Bloom
written by: Kurt Cobain
tabbed by: Justin Flowers
I know this song is probably already tabbed but my internet went
out and won't work so i got bored & tabbed it while listening
to the cd. I'm 14 so i don't care if I made any mistakes but if
you have any commentary to give send it to chilisk8er101@skateboard.com
I have found a couple ways to play it using different versions
of the same chords. I'm listing the most authentic sounding
version and easiest way. In the music video it looks like Kurt
plays it like this and it sounds perfect. I'll list the solo
after all of the chord parts.
