  Hi Everyone,
     I've been seeing some really good Nirvana tab lately (thanks a million
  to the guy who posted Downer and Mexican Seafood!), so I figured I'd add
  a little.  I haven't seen this one posted, I'm not sure if it's just so
  easy that nobody doesn't know it, or what.  Anyway, here's Been a Son.
  Oh yeah...if anyone knows Spank Thru, or the solo for D-7, could you PLEASE
  post it!?
  
  Been A Son
  Written by Kurt Cobain
  Tabbed by Gene Azevedo
  
  There are two major versions of this song...the fast electric version
  heard on the Lithium single and Incesticide, and a slower "lamer" as Kurt
  put it, version which I've heard but can't remember what it was on.
  I'll post the tab for the faster one since it's better, but you can play
  the more mellow one on an acoustic guitar playing only the higher pitched
  strings for the verses, and playing the chorus with the normal tuned
  power chords rather than the dropped d as I will show.
  
  
  Verses:
                          ^-upstroke if you play this one...all others down
  E---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------|
  B---3--3-----------3---(3)--3--------|
  G---2--2-----------2---(2)--2--------| repeat many times
  D---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------|
  A---0--0---3-2-0---0---(0)--0---3-2-0|
  D---0--0-----------0---(0)--0--------|
  
  
  Chorus:
  
  E-------------------------
  B-------------------------
  G-------------------------   Repeat
  D---5-5--3--X-2--2--------
  A---5-5--3--X-2--2--3-2-0-
  D---5-5--3--X-2--2--------
  
  Solo-
  There are many ways to play this solo...sometimes Kurt just played the
  verse guitar part as the solo...but my version of the solo (quite
  pathetic unless you're playing with some other people to help make more
  noise!
  
  G--6-6--4-3-1/6--6-6--4-3-1--
  repeat a couple times then
  G--/4-4--2--2-1--1-1-1-0-1-0--1/4--4--2--2-1--1-1-1-0-1-0
  etc.
  
  Enjoy!
