Capo the fret? Huh? And strum like Cobain does? How the hell else would you play the song? Maybe this is an April Fool tab?
+121
what the hell are we supposed to capo?
+58
The Strummin pattern Cobain uses for the intro and chorus is Down up down, mutedown muteup mutedown, then for the next chord its Down down, mute down muteup. But it sounds ok, just downstrummin if the up is a pain.
