Radio Friendly Unit Shifter Nirvana
I've seen a few interesting version of Radio Friendly Unit Shifter by
Nirvana, and so far I haven't seen one that I could see was correct.
I have tabbed' out this one from the Live New Years' concert from a year
ago. I hope someone can use it..
(Remember, that if you want to be correct, tune your instrument down
half a step. I tabbed it out in the chords you're "supposed" to be
playing.)

"Radio Friendly Unit Shifter" by Nirvana
tune down 1/2 step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
p = pull off
h = hammer on
the intro is something like this but with some weird effects. this is the
closest i could get:
---------------11p10h11p10-- --11p10h11p10--------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ----------------------------- -----------------------------
then the main riff:
[B5] [F#5] [A#5] [F5]
------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- --5--5---------------4---4--4------------------- --5--5---5----5--5---4---4--4--4--4--4--4---4-- --3--3---5----5--5---2---2--2--4--4--0--2---4-- ---------3----3--3--------------2--2--0--2---2--
that last chord (F5) is played out a little longer than the other chords
(listen to the cd for timing). plus, i'm not sure if that chord in the
middle of F5 is what i have listed or 044xxx, but it shouldn't really
matter.
bridge:
[B5] [D#5] [G#5] [F#5]
-------------------- -------------------- --5----9------------ --5----9----7----5-- --3----7----7----5-- ------------5----3--
there's a slide between B5 and D#5. and on the last line of the bridge, only
B5 and D#5 are played.
to even mention the verse is a joke.
