  Hi Everyone,

     I've been seeing some really good Nirvana tab lately (thanks a million

  to the guy who posted Downer and Mexican Seafood!), so I figured I'd add

  a little.  I haven't seen this one posted, I'm not sure if it's just so

  easy that nobody doesn't know it, or what.  Anyway, here's Been a Son.

  Oh yeah...if anyone knows Spank Thru, or the solo for D-7, could you PLEASE

  post it!?

  

  Been A Son

  Written by Kurt Cobain

  Tabbed by Gene Azevedo

  

  There are two major versions of this song...the fast electric version

  heard on the Lithium single and Incesticide, and a slower "lamer" as Kurt

  put it, version which I've heard but can't remember what it was on.

  I'll post the tab for the faster one since it's better, but you can play

  the more mellow one on an acoustic guitar playing only the higher pitched

  strings for the verses, and playing the chorus with the normal tuned

  power chords rather than the dropped d as I will show.

  

  

  Verses:

                          ^-upstroke if you play this one...all others down

  E---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------|

  B---3--3-----------3---(3)--3--------|

  G---2--2-----------2---(2)--2--------| repeat many times

  D---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------|

  A---0--0---3-2-0---0---(0)--0---3-2-0|

  D---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------|

  

  

  Chorus:

  

  E-------------------------

  B-------------------------

  G-------------------------   Repeat

  D---5-5--3--X-2--2--------

  A---5-5--3--X-2--2--3-2-0-

  D---5-5--3--X-2--2--------

  

  Solo-

  There are many ways to play this solo...sometimes Kurt just played the

  verse guitar part as the solo...but my version of the solo (quite

  pathetic unless you're playing with some other people to help make more

  noise!

  

  G--6-6--4-3-1/6--6-6--4-3-1--

  repeat a couple times then

  G--/4-4--2--2-1--1-1-1-0-1-0--1/4--4--2--2-1--1-1-1-0-1-0

  etc.

  

  Enjoy!
