From: psalzman@sfsuvax1.sfsu.edu (Peter Salzman)
Subject: CRD: About A Girl

If someone emails me the lyrics, I'll turn this into a really nice TAB
(instead of a spartan CRD).  I don't want to offend anyone, but I can't
imagine this taking someone more than 2 min to strumm out, unless they
don't have the album I guess.  Oh well.  Have no clue to the lyrics,
sorry.   There doesn't seem to be any chorus.

Song: About A Girl
Artist: Nirvana    written by Kurt Cobain
CRD'er: Peter Jay Salzman psalzman@stars.sfsu.edu

cut time                 From Nirvana's Bleach 
(also featured on Nirvana's 1993 MTV Unplugged performance)

Notes:
All apologies for incorrect lyrics -- this is just how I hear 
them.  No one knows for sure what they are, anyway.

On Bleach, they play this song in standard tuning (EADGBE), 
but on Unplugged they played it a half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb 
Bb Eb).  

Some say the Em is actually an E or an E5.  Try 'em all and see what
sounds best to you.
