Beeswax tab - nirvana

title:  "beeswax"
disc:  "incesticide," "unhappy"
artist:  nirvana
tuning:  standard, although it sounds a lot heavier (better?) in D
effects:  lots of muddy distortion, may want to turn highs down and lows/mids
up for a "dirtier" sound;  be sure to turn the distortion *WAY* up for this,
as there's TONS of uncontrolled feedback.  without the feedback, the song
just sucks :)

) = bend
^^ = uncontrolled feedback
~ = let ring
/ = slide

lyrics (i tried, so sheaddyap.  who cares if they're 600% wrong? :)
disclaimer:  these are wrong. :)

verse:
 lying here sitting in front of a fire..
 not only megan says i can thrive on a shot..
 grinning my manhood, judge the mantle..
 i cut it up for you, say hey hey hey wake up..
chorus:
 i got my due this way.. i got my due this way.. i got my due this way..
 i got my due this..
verse:
 she laughs about it..
 squeaking inflection when the wind blows just right..
 jagged thumbs of polyester..
 how many jumps is in it? right, hey, when i'm gettin back..
chorus:
 i got my due this way.. i got my due this way.. i got my due this way..
 i got my due this..
bridge:
 i dont know why.. i got a junkie six string..
 dont trust a bore.. i gotta date, date, hear my fucking hate..
chorus:
 i got my due this way.. i got my due this way.. i got my due this way..
 i got my due this..
verse:
 if your world is graded monthly..
 fiberglass situation in the sky as cotton candy..
 sunning out to save a ranch, you ovulate..
 freedom to count out, being wrong..
 i feel you will gladly take it anal..
 feelings really remind me of someone..
 i'm sick of paying for the loveboat..
 don't need to live, gonna jump rope, and i get along..
chorus:
 i got my feelings way.. i got a little tale.. i got my due this way..
 i got my due this way..
bridge:
 ahhh.. i got my loves.. dont have any more.. i gotta, hey, hey, where're you
 getting yours?
chorus:
 i got my due this way.. i got my due this way.. i got my due this way..
 i got my due this way.. i got my due this way.. i got my due this way..
 i got my due..
