---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Something In The Way (Acoustic) - Nirvana ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: crazy246791 Email: crazy_number_67@hotmail.com FAIR WARNING!!! This is my first tab (I don't think I really did anything wrong though). I believe this is 99% correct of the acoustic version of this amazing song. It is very easy to learn and fun to play. Enjoy!!! Tuning: Drop D Main riff: (Intro: Play twice. Verses: play 7 times.) e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----4--4----0--0--------------------------------------------------------| A|---4--4-4--0--0-0-------------------------------------------------------| E|-4-------0--------------------------------------------------------------| Pre-chorus: vvv e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----4--4----0-000-------------------------------------------------------| A|---4--4-4--0--000-------------------------------------------------------| E|-4-------0----000-------------------------------------------------------| Chorus: Play 5x v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ v ^ e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------2--2-2---2-2-2------------------------------------------| G|-6--6-6---6-6-6-3--3-3---3-3-3-6--6-6---6-6-6-2--2-2---2-2-2------------| D|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0------------| A|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0------------| E|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0------------| Chorus cont. v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ V ^ v e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------3--3-3---3-3-3------------------------------------------| G|-6--6-6---6-6-6-2--2-2---2-2-2-6--6-6---6-6-6-2-------------------------| D|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0-------------------------| A|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0-------------------------| E|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0-------------------------| After that, play through the verse again, then: Chorus: Play 7x v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ v ^ e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------2--2-2---2-2-2------------------------------------------| G|-6--6-6---6-6-6-3--3-3---3-3-3-6--6-6---6-6-6-2--2-2---2-2-2------------| D|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0------------| A|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0------------| E|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0------------| Chorus cont. v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ v ^ v v ^ ^ V ^ v e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------3--3-3---3-3-3------------------------------------------| G|-6--6-6---6-6-6-2--2-2---2-2-2-6--6-6---6-6-6-2-------------------------| D|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0-------------------------| A|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0-------------------------| E|-4--4-4---4-4-4-0--0-0---0-0-0-4--4-4---4-4-4-0-------------------------| Thats it! P.S.

It sounds similar to the original, but not exact. Once again, ENJOY! Lyrics: Verses: Underneath the bridge The tarp has sprung a leak And all the animals that I've trapped Have all become my pets And their living off of grass And the drippings from the ceiling Its ok to eat fish Because they don't have any feelings Chorus: (1st chorus: 3x. 2nd chorus: 4x.) Something in the way. Mmmm. Something in the way, yeah. Mmmm. ************************************ Legend: v-downstrum ^-upstrum ************************************
