So I posted the 2nd best version only to what Cobain, Novoselic, and Grohl wrote. I have took the song apart into intro, verse1, verse2, pre-chorus, verse3, chorus, solo, pre-chorus, chorus and, outro. I have it tabbed for 2 guitars, 1 bass guitar, and 1 lead singer (Unplugged in NY version) but for you idiots not in bands, at the end of each section I'll tab it all out for 1 guitar, 1 bass, and 1 lead singer(Nevermind version) but you can mix it up like 1 acoustic or 2 electrics. Whatever? Well I'll just stop boring you and get on with some Nirvana tab.

In the pre-chorus Cobain plays the chords and I think it's Pat Smear???
