  And if you save yourself
  You will make him happy
  He'll keep you in a jar

  title:  "sappy"
          (i'm sure some of you know this as "verse chorus verse". it was an
           earlier recording, 1988 i believe)        
  artist:  kurt cobain
  disc:  "live and demos," "unhappy," etc.
  tuning:  standard, i believe.  may be tuned down a half step
  (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
  effects:  none what so ever;  in fact, it sounds best on an acoustic guitar,
  as that's how it was recorded.  if doing it on an electric, i suggest turning
  the tone down for a lower sound, not as crisp.
  
  chorus:

  ..i know this is a really "incomplete" tab, but i'm clueless as to what the
  chorus is.  anyway, here're the words:
  
  verse one:
  and if you save your friends, you will make her happy.
  and if you do what's told, you will make me happy.
  i'll keep you in a jar, and you will seem happy.
  i'll give you breathing holes, you will think you're happy, now..
  
  chorus:
  you're in a laundry room.. you're in a laundry room.. you're in a laundry
  room..
  
  verse two:
  and if you save yourself, you will make him happy.
  i'll bring you fire and wars, and you will feel happy..
  i'll keep you in a room, i'm sure you'll be happy..
  and if you save what's old, you will think you're happy, now..
  
  that's it.  questions/comments/criqtiques?
