Kurt plays Come as you are with his guitar tuned a full step down. This version is so you can play in standard tuning. The main riff won’t work but you can play it on the D and G strings. Just an octave higher. Cheers.

Difficulty:	beginner
Tuning:	E A D G B E

super easy version thank you!

i think get the solo with this tuning way: G: --6-8---6-8---6-8-8/10-8-6- D: 8-----8-----8-------------8 etc..

Great version. The only one with the sus chords in the bridge too! You can even add the b7 onto the Esus4 by playing 0-2-2-2-*3-0 (Kurt usually has the top two strings ringing in the key of F# making it an F#7sus4)
