On a Plain Nirvana
Song Title: On A Plain
Artist: Nirvana
Album: Nevermind (1991, DGC)
Unplugged (1994, DGC)
Great song, couple different versions.
About the only difference is the tunings are different. Nevermind is in E (From what I recall...)
and Unplugged is in Eb. Either way both are in dropped-D tuning. (Low E string
detuned 1 step). And of course, one version's electric, and the other is acoustic.(duh)
Everything else should be the same.
Tuning: Nevermind - Standard E tuning, Drop-D
Unplugged - Eb tuning, Drop-D

Lyrics:
I'll start this off without any words
I got so high I scratched till I bled
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The finest day that I've ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
My mother died every night
It's safe to say don't quote me on that
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put the proper zip code
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain
Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory is stored
As defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?
It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
One more special message to go
And then I'm done and I can go home
I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?
I'm on a plain
I can't complain
