Nirvana
"Stain" by Nirvana, from Incesticide


Here's a Nirvana song I haven't seen a tab for yet, amazingly.  We can h

                                               E|-7-|

Intro:

Lyrics:

Well he never bleeds and he never ***s
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
