The Man Who Sold The World by Nirvana guitar tab (text):

NIRVANA

============

The man who sold the world

-------------------------------------------

(Mtv unplugged in new york)

Originally by David Bowie



This tab is for those people like me who couldn't be bothered to detune their guitars to play tunes. Cobain, Grohl and Noveselic play this tuned down a semi-tone on the album (1 fret lower) but I can never be bothered to do this so I retabbed it in normal tuning but the notes wind up being the same as on the CD. Clever, huh?

G#    - 445664 (f shape)

C#m   - 456644 (Barred Am shape)

Main riff  X 6 (E comes in after 4th riff and 6th finishes with a C#m) 



Verse 1 (After 6 X intro riff)

======================



                             G#

We passed upon the stair

                             C#m

Spoke of was and when

                             G#

Although I wasn't there

                             E

Said I was his friend

                             B

Which came as a surprise

                             G#

I spoke into his eyes

                             C#m

I thought you died alone

                             B

A long long time ago

I'm not sure exactly the chord timing for playing these, check out one of the other tabs for the words to go with this.



Oh no

Not me

I never lost control

You're face

To face

With the man who sold the world (Main riff comes in now)



The next verse comes in with the exact same rhythm set to these words:



Verse 2

======



I laughed and shook his hand

Made my way back home

I searched from farther land

Years and years I roamed

I gazed all gazers there

We walked a million hills

I must have died alone

A long long time ago



Chorus 2

=======



As previous



Main riff

=======



Bit of variation up on the ninth fret towards the end of this bit but it's piss easy if you listen to the cd



Solo

====



Very simple and easy to play. Easier when detuned but this is for all you lazy guys/girls out there like myself.

Solo riff X 2



I play more notes than Kurt but a delay unit would work well I think. The entire song finishes on a C#m and the 4th note on the d-string.



That's more or less it, I advise you listen to the cd and work out your own alterations and effects. Enjoy.
