Big Long Now
 (by Kurdt Kobain)

This depressing song is off of -Incesticide-.  I think it was cutely and
perfectly written not just for simplicity but for the feel of it.  I do
not know.  The verse riff is:

E ---------------
B ---------------
G -------------0-   this is played over and over again.  The unopen strings
D -----0---------   are played palm muted while the open string are played
A ---8---8---8---   normally.
E -9-------9-----

The song goes:

(Riff)
It~s not cold enough
Please put his side up
She is moon gray

Bb5     A5       G#5     (Riff)
Can we show our faces now

I~m not in a string
She~s not turning gray
Simple as it seems

Bb5     A5       G#5     (Riff)
Can we show our faces now

D5  C#5
 Endless climb!
D5  C#5       G5
 I am blind
D5  C#5
 Why canUy I eat
D5  C#5       G5
 Call a lie
D5  C#5
 Speaking a phrase
D5  C#5           G5
 Instantly grown
D5  C#5
 Lord I~m blind
D5  C#5            G5   F#5   F5   F5
 Waiting in line

(Riff)

This continues on for another verse and chorus and that is basically the
whole song.

The chords are:

 E A D G B E
 -----------
Bb5  6 8 8 x x x
A5   5 7 7 x x x
G#5  4 6 6 x x x
D5   x 5 7 7 x x
C#5  x 4 6 6 x x
G5   3 5 5 x x x
F#5  2 4 4 x x x
F5   1 3 3 x x x

Title : Big Long Now
Artist : Nirvana
>From : Stuart Welsh <swelsh@plymouth.ac.uk>

This was pretty simple to work out, the main riff only uses four notes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------0----------------------------|
-----------------------0------------------------------------------------------------------------|
------------9-------------------9------------------9--------------------9-------------------- |
-----7-----------------------------------7-----------------------------------------------------|

Listen to the recording and work out the timing.

For the chorus it's B barred at the 7th fret to E also barred at the 7th
fret.

If anyone can work out the words to this PLEASE can you email them
to me on swelsh@plymouth.ac.uk

A quick word :

 I have seen people trying to sell T Shirts with pictures of Kurts dead
body on it.  I don't know if suicide is justified but making money out of
it certainly IS NOT so please don't.
