Nirvana - Sappy (aka Versus Chorus Verse)
-----------------------------------------

I think it's more accurate then the ones I've seen...

Sappy as recorded by Nirvana from the Outcesticide I album, acoustic version.
Normal Tuning.

Words and Music by: Kurt Cobain
Transcribed by: Sem van Blerkem

*Verse*:

And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
And you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
And you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with dust
And you'll think you're happy now

And if you fool yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you'll seem happy
You'll wallow in the shit
Then you'll think you're happy now

*Chorus*:

You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh

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?
