"About A Girl" - Nirvana
Taken from the album "Bleach"
Tabbed by Tim Millard (millartj@wilkes1.wilkes.edu)
Standard tuning (EADGBE)
The existing tab of this song in OLGA is, fundamentally, correct. However,
when I've seen this song played live, Kurt doesn't use those chords. Also,
the existing tab left out some parts of the song, especially the
solo. This will hopefully remedy that.
And, of course, listen to CD for timings and shit, repeat everything as
needed, yadda yadda yadda...
Intro / Verse:
For this part, you REALLY should listen to the CD for the timings, because
they're random at times...

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official NIRVANA tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
