About A Girl by Nirvana - guitar chords, guitar tabs and lyrics

	A#	B	F#	G	C#	D	G#	A	D#	E
										Although these are the notes that the guitar will be playing, I will still write them as E A D G B E because it's just easier.

Here is a chord table for anyone who doesn't know them

Chord Fingering

---------------------

Em 0-2-2-0-0-0

G 3-2-0-0-0-3

E 0-2-2-1-0-0

A 0-0-2-2-2-0

C 0-3-2-0-1-0

Intro - play Em, G FOUR times. After the third time you play them, the drums come in, then after the fourth, the bass comes in. After that you play Em, G another FOUR times before starting the verse.

VERSE 1

	Em	G	Em	G
	I need	an	easy friend

	G	Em	G	Em	G
	I	do, with	an	ear to lend

	G	Em	G	Em	G
	I	do think	you	fit this shoe

	G	Em	G	Em	G
	I	do but	you	have a clue

CHORUS

I know these next chords are wrong but it fits in nicely. (where there is nothing written on a string, that means you don't play that string on that chord. Other people put an 'x' but I think that makes it harder to read for the less experienced people)

NOTES

In the verses, try not to just play the chords straight like they're written. Try to

elaborate a bit. You will see what I mean when listening to the song. Put an emphasis on beats 2 and 4. The Em chord should be played so that you strum it once then play the top E string then the B string like this:

Beat 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4

   E---0-0--33-0-0--33-0-0--33-0-0--33---
   A---0--0-00-0--0-00-0--0-00-0--0-00---
   D---0----00-0----00-0----00-0----00---
   G---2----00-2----00-2----00-2----00---
   B---2----22-2----22-2----22-2----22---
   E---0----33-0----33-0----33-0----33---

In the solo, the bit which is played four times is played very stacato (short, sharp notes). Play it so that when you play a note, you quickly release your finger from the fretboard to mute it again. Like I said before, listen to the song whilst reading this. You will get the gist of what I'm trying to say!

E-------2-24-4-333---
A--------------333---
D------02-24-4-------
G---020--------------
