- OH ME
- =====
- As performed by Nirvana & the Meat Puppets
- On 'Nirvana Unplugged in New York'
- Written by the Meat Puppets
- Transcription by Wouter Janssen (wjanssen@cs.vu.nl)
-
- Tune down a *whole* step to play along with the CD.
-
- NB : This song is actually played with 2 guitars, this transcription is just
- for one guitar, however it's rather easy to transform it into the 2-guitar
- version. Let one guitar play the chords on the higher strings (G/B/e)
- throughout the song and the other should play the tab below. (omitting some
- of the strokes on the higher strings, just listen to CD

- Lyrics (taken from ftp.uwp.edu) :
-
- if i had to lose a mile
- if i had to touch feelings
- i would lose my soul
- the way i do
-
- i don't have to think
- i only have to do it
- the results are always perfect
- and that's old news
-
- would you like to hear my voice
- sweetened with emotion
- invented at your birth?
-
- i can't see the end of me
- my whole expanse i cannot see
- i formulate infinity
- and store it deep inside of me
