Okay, I am aware that Nirvana probably recorded this tuned down a semitone and in drop D tuning, these
chords are for people, (like me), that hate tuning and retuning guitars.
The chords seem VERY simple to me and if I've missed some out feel free to tell me but I have written out
what I can hear. The rhythm guitar on this song is minimal but I think these chords fit pretty well
Lyrics may be a little off, (nest of salt? next assault?)
 
 
[Intro]
 
| C#   | C#   | C#   | C#   |
| C#   | C#   | C#   | C#   |
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C#
What else should I be, all apologies
C#
What else could I say, everyone is gay
C#
What else could I write, I don't have the right
C#
What else should I be, all apologies
 
F#
   In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
 
In the sun, in the sun
G#
Married, buried
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C#
I wish I was like you, easily amused
C#
Find my nest of salt, everything's my fault
C#
I'll take all the blame, aqua seafoam shame
C#
Sunburn, freezer burn, choking on the ashes of her enemy
 
F#
   In the sun, in the sun I feel as one
 
In the sun, in the sun
G#
Married, buried
G#
Married, buried, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 
 
[Outro]
 
| C#   | C#   | C#   | C#   |
 
C#
All in all is all we are
C#
All in all is all we are
C#
All in all is all we are
C#
All in all is all we are

I smash this with your version , drop the E to flatten the vibe with a capo on one and its perfect, simple as hell for such an amazing song
