Return of the Rat
as performed by Nirvana
from the compilation
"Eight Songs for Greg Sage & the Wipers"
written by Greg Sage & the Wipers

I don't think a decent tab of this song exists so I've written one.
It's a simple song to play and fun, too. One of my favorite Nirvana
ditties. Here goes nothin'.

Standard tuning

You better watch out
You better beware
They're coming from all sides of the country
You better beware

[the slide from Em
to A5 is a sort of bridge
from chorus to verse
Just roll right into the
verse without slowing
down]

B|--11-9--------9-11-9---11-9--------9-11-9--- [play this twice
G|-------11-9-11------11-----11-9-11-------11- then play the
D|-------------------------------------------- first bit twice
A|-------------------------------------------- more]
E|--------------------------------------------

Repeat the first verse [an old Nirvana trick] and that's it.

I hope you have found this usefull. If you come across any glaring
errors mail me and I'll fix them. I don't have my guitar right here
so the solo may be fucked. If you have difficulties mail me and
I'll get you a proper copy.

Yep, I scewed up the solo. It's not played on the 2nd and 3rd
strings but on the 3rd and 4th strings. Everything else is ok.
