"Stain" by Nirvana, from Incesticide

TABBED by Neil James, 

Here's a Nirvana song I haven't seen a tab for yet, amazingly.  We can h
tabs for songs like Junkyard but no one tabs things like Siftings, and S

Play this in Drop D tuning.  If you don't know what that is, which I did
for the first two months I played guitar, well.

Normally, A|-0-| are the same note.
          E|-5-|

In Drop D, tune the E string two steps down so A|-0-| are the same note
                                               E|-7-|

Intro:

|-0---1-|
|-0---1-|

Then the verse goes something like

|-1-2-2-2-1-1-1-2-2-2-|
|-1-2-2-2-1-1-1-2-2-2-|
|-1-2-2-2-1-1-1-2-2-2-|

The chorus goes...

|-8-8-7-7-7-0---------|
|-8-8-7-7-7-0-let ring|
|-8-8-7-7-7-0---------|
  "I'm a stain..."

The solo is actually two guitars, but I've heard live versions and he on
plays one of those parts.  It goes like this.

Well he never bleeds and he never fucks
And he never sleeps cause he's got bad luck
Well he never eats and he never rusts
And he never leaves cause he's got bad luck yeah

I'm a stain
