	    ****Tourettes**** from `In Utero` side2 track3 ?-Nirvana


Just thinking of this song makes gives me goose-bumps.........

As far as my battered ears can discern The chords are something like..

  E  D#  E  B
  0  6   7  2
  0  8   9  4
  1  8   9  4 
  2  8   9  4 
  2  6   7  2
  0  X   X  X	Same all through the song. 
		I *think* theseare the chords....my tiny walkman speakers
		don't give a very clear sound ( good workman, bad tools 
 		honestly !!).The song is so wild that it seems the full 
		major chords are played.Aaanyway, the lyrics (according
		to the author) were screamed on the spot, no lyric sheet
		here.make what you can of them. The only thing I could
		discern was `Cold heart` in the chorus.good luck.....

It's goodbye From me...

the one that was on the archive is wrong.

the dashes don't indicate timing, its really easy, just downstrokes, the
fasionable punk rock metronome.

i'm pretty sure its played like this intro/verse/first screaming part(1/2
step down) 
eb|-----------------------------------
Bb|----------------------------------- 
Gb|-----------------------------------
Db|4-4-4-4-10-10-10-10-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5 
Ab|4-4-4-4-10-10-10-10-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5
Eb|2-2-2-2-8--8--8--8--9-9-9-9-3-3-3-3

These are the right notes, but it maybe the wrong order. I think part of it
is pul-offs, but i'm not sure. I play with a wrapped third, so it sounds
differnt when i play on the third string(in this case Gb), so i play it on
the second, it could be either one.

chourus/Hey riff 
Bb|-4-3-4-3-0 
or  
Gb|-4-3-3-4-0

Words
----- 
this song has no words. tourette's is a disease that causes uncontrouble
noises to emit from the aflicted person, sometimes curse words, mostly just
gutteral noises. kurt just screamed whatever came to mind, maybe not his
greatest lyrical improvisation, i personaly think the fully improvised
"gallons of alcohol running through the strip" is better, but for words to
this, just scream. whatever you want, make up your own words if you really
wanna play it, or do it instermentaly. or whatever.

i'm sorry mr.god rocker guy, i just wanted to play some music.
