Written By: Kurt Cobain Published By: The End Of Music Here's a tab for Do Ri Me, i've tried to decribe the rhythym of kurt's strumming as best i can, for the little breaks between chords he mute's the strings, thus the x's in the appropriate places, don't neglect these, they're a good substitute for percussion...

Bother me Do Re Mi Kiss me good and wish me light Finding how seeing Is in their me, I just may cry Follow may completely me Yell 'oh where', and if I sigh Save me how teaming And if I may and if I might Golden gun to bleed Rays in his pocket Rays from his wallet Chains from his armor Am I deep? Do Re Mi ___________________________________________________________________ do remember that the tape quality of 'do ri me' has degraded and slowed over the 11 years since it was recorded, so try as you might, you probably won't be able to tune your guitar to sound like kurt's does on the box set, so just tune half a step down and try your best Bumpman
