I tabbed this by listening very carefully to the album version of the song and some live shows (I watched the
live shows to see how Kurt used to do his chords, and i discovered that the E and G chords are very
different from what everybody else do)
Tabbed by: Érick Viezzer Alves (AKA Andy, AKA Raphaela)
 
Tuning: EADGbe (6th to 1st string)
