Artist:Nirvana
Title: Lithium
Author:Tom "Fuzz" O. (Fuzz4494@AOL.com)
Notes:This song is fairly simple to play... many people say it is in drop 
tuning(DGCF), but I say thats crap, this is one of my band's signature 
covers and my personal favorite, and we play it standard tuning and it
sounds perfect.Here it is as simple as I can put it.P.S. NO BASS IN THE 
INTRO OR FIRST VERSE!!BASS COMES IN AT THE FIRST CHORUS!!
Symbols:/=slide up   ^=bend note 
        =slide down h=hammer-on

Last Verse Variations(On the first and last riffs of the last verse, Krist
throws in a few extra notes to liven it up. Nothing big, but its there.
Listen to the CD to see what I mean.)

First Riff Variation-No HUGE change, but it's there if you listen

E|---------------5-3-3-------------------------------|

Go back to the chorus, and play through to the Bridge.In the live version
on From The Muddy Banks Of The Wishkaw, Krist changes the little bass solo
in the bridge a bit on the last repeat.I can't tell EXACTLY what he's 
playing, but it sounds good to riff around on the D and G strings until the 
ending.THATS ALL FOLKS!!!Questions,comments, my e-mail is above, don't be
afraid to write.
