and if you save yerself, you will think you're happy

Verse Chorus Verse as recorded by Nirvana from the No Alternative benefit album (last track-uncredited)
words and music by the late, great Kurt Cobain transcribed by Robert Wolsey
Tuning (low to high string): Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Notes: I think Kurt played this one using flat tuning, since it was recorded for In Utero and everything on that CD is tuned down a half step. The chords shown below are the chords you're pretending to play; the chords that come out are a half step lower because of the tuning.
And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
And you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with dust
And you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue just came to you, oh
And if you cut (guard?) yourself You will think you're happy He'll keep you in a jar Then you'll make him happy He'll give you breathing holes Then you'll think you're happy He'll cover you with dust Then you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room You're in a laundry room Your clue just came to you (guitar solo over verse chords)
You're in a laundry room You're in a laundry room Your clue just came to you
And if you fool yourself You will make him happy He'll keep you in a jar Then you'll think you're happy He'll give you breathing holes Then you will seem happy You'll wallow in the shit Then you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room You're in a laundry room You're in a laundry room Your clue just came to you, oh
