What else should I be; all apologies

In the sun, in the sun I feel as one

I wish I was like you; easily amused

Find my nest of salt; everything's my fault

Choking on the ashes of her enemies

Strange to read all the hate about this post. Its actually right. Its in a different key, technically Nirvana played it in Db, since they tune down a half step. And if you want to be accurate you also need to play it in drop D and play it in D.
But the song itself is just a I - IV - V, and the chords above work for that.

Real helpful feedback, guys. Way to build a community and positive learning environment.
To the original poster (Ferdinand) -
The song's played in drop-D (DADGBE). Tune the instrument like that, and transpose your chords up by two steps:
C -> D
F -> G
G -> A
When playing in DADGBE tuning, those chords will look like this:
D: 000232 (or xx0232, but I like the sound of the open strings)
G: 550003
A: x02220
Hope that helps you and anyone else that lands here.
