 C
What else should I be; all apologies

What else could I say; everyone is gay

What else could I write; I don't have a right

What else should I be; all apologies
 
 
[Chorus]

 In the sun, in the sun I feel as one

 Buried (yah, yah, yah, yeah)
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
I wish I was like you; easily amused
 C
Find my nest of salt; everything's my fault

I'll take all the blame; aqua sea foam shame

Sunburn with freezer burn
 C
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.
