  Serve the Servants
  Words and music by Kurt Cobain
  From Nirvana's In Utero (1993)
  Transcribed by Robert Wolsey
  
  To play along with the CD (or any boots of the last tour), 
  tune down a half step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.
  
  I still don't know the opening chord, but I've pretty  much 
  figured out the rest of it, partly by watching the Oakland 
  video.  I'm not great at naming chords, so help me out here. 
  Here are the fingerings for the chords used:  
  
         E A D G B E
  Bm7    x 2 4 2 x x
  Em7?   x x 2 4 3 x *
  F#?    2 4 4 3 0 0 * 
  E      0 2 2 1 0 0
  A      5 7 7 6 5 5
  C#     x 4 6 6 6 4
  G      3 5 5 4 3 3
  
  * name that chord!
  
  
  Verse riff:
    Bmin7            Emin7?          F#?            E 
  e|-------------------------------------0-----0----0---0---0-|
  B|-----------------------3-----3-------0-----0----0---0---0-|
  G|------2------------4-------4-----3---3---3-3-3--1---1-1-1-|
  D|--4-------4------2---2-----------4-------4---4--2-----2---|
  A|2---2-------2--------------------4-------4---4--2-----2---|
  E|---------------------------------2--------------0---------|
                                           
  
  Bmin7             Emin7
  Teenage angst has paid off well
  
  F#                E
  Now I'm bored and old
  
  Bmin7          Emin7
  Self appointed judges judge
  
  F#                  E
  More than they have sold
  
  Bmin7              Emin7
  If she floats then she is not
  
  F#                  E
  A witch like we had thought
  
  Bmin7             Emin7
  A down payment on another
  
  F#             E
  One at Salem's lot
  
  A          C#           A
   Serve the servants, oh no
  
            C#           A
  Serve the servants, oh no
  
            C#           A
  Serve the servants, oh no
  
            C# 
  Serve the servants
  
  F#             G                 C#
  That legendary divorce is such a bore
  
  
  As my bones grew they did hurt
  They hurt really bad
  I tried hard to have a father
  But instead I had a Dad
  
  I just want you to know that I
  Don't hate you anymore
  There is nothing I could say
  That I haven't thought before
  
  
   Corrections?  I'll take all the blame at wolser@rpi.edu.

  Serve the Servants.  Actually, this is what I've figured out, attested to by
  the Live and Loud dingo MTV did last New Year's Eve.
  
  The opening chord eludes me to:
  
  Eb|------------------|------------------|
  Ab|------------------|-------3-----3----|
  Db|-------2-----2----|----1-------------|
  Gb|----1-------------|--2-------2-----2-|
  Bb|--2-------2----2--|------------------|
  Eb|------------------|------------------|
      Teenage angst...    has paid off well
  
  
  And the the rest of the chords...
  
  If people want some tabs to most of the songs on In Utero, and I can tab up
  what I've figured out -- and what've I've grabbed from the net.
