 Come As You Are
 =============== This is a very simple song, and this 
 should get you started. I'm not sure
 ------------------------------- about the chords during the chorus, but
 ------------------------------- this riff is palyed during most of
 ------------------------------- the verses.

 Come as you are
 On Nevermind and Unplugged in NY
 Written by Kurt cobain and Nirvana
 
 After seeing how much all the other tabs on this 
 file SUCK or are incomplete makes me XXXXing 
 mad!!! 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.

 Lyrics: 
 I took the verse apart
 by measures so you 
 can get rhythm
 
 Come as you are
 As you were
 As I want
 You to be
 As a friend

 Take your time
 Hurry up 
 The choice is yours 
 Don't be late
 Take a rest

 Pre-chorus
 _________________________________________________ 
 
 I used bar breaks to determine measures, 
 measures are the same for both guitars.
 0n Unplugged in NY Kurt tends to strum
 mostly on the 4 lowest strings.
 In the pre-chorus Cobain plays the chords
 and I think it's Pat Smear???
