Lithium by NIRVANA
On the Nevermind CD and Lithium single.

From: Alex Morrow


     I'm not too sure if this is correct but the last post of Lithium
didn't sound quite right, so here's how I play it..


Sounds good with a clean electric or light strumming on an acoustic..


Intro/Verses (Main Riff)

e-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
b-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
g-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
d-2-------6--------11-------7--------10---------12--------9---------12----|

I'm so happy cause today I've found my friends, ...


Chorus:
e-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
b-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
g---------5--5----------5--5--5-----------4-4-4-4-4-4--2--2--2----------|
d--7--7---5--5---7--7---5--5--5---7-------4-4-4-4-4-4--2--2--2----------|
a--7--7---3--3---7--7---3--3--3---7-------2-2-2-2-2-2--0--0--0--1--2--0-|
e--5--5----------5--5-------------5-------------------------------------|
                              ..Crack.. 

I like it I'm not gonna crack...


Instead of the 1--2--0 on the A-string, play:

d--------2--|
a--------2--|
e--0--3-----|

after the Chorus to end the song



Lithium - by Nirvana

Well after looking everywhere and not being satisfied with what I found
I decided to just do it myself. This is my first attempt at writing
tablature so be kind. I'm sure there is some intricate picking going on
that you can add but I believe this is very close to the way it was played
live.


Intro:

     Em        G#       C#        A        C       D        B       D

X----2---------6--------4------------------3-------5--------2-------5------
X--------------4-----------------------------------------------------------
               I'm so happy.......Cause today I ...


There it is. I'm pretty sure the second to last chord is called B, I did
this off the top of my head.
I play them all as bar-chords except Em and A. Some palm muting helps also.

On the last line do this:

    A          C         A           C                    A           B

X---5---5----------------5----5--------------------------------------------
        I     kill you   I'm  not       gon ....
                                                   (strum each several x's)

Immediately after last chord do this to go back to the Em and start over:
         
             Em
X-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
X-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
X-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
X------------2------------------------------------------------------------- 
X------------2------------------------------------------------------------- 
X---O---3------------------------------------------------------------------ 
    (Open E, then third string and into Em)

There it is, I play them all as bar-chords except Em and A.  

I verified this by watching Kurt play it on Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!
The only difference I noticed was that he sometimes played the A as a 
bar-chord and the D as a regular chord, otherwise the chords are the way
he played them live.
