   Running nose and runny yolk
   Even if you have a cold still
   You can cough on me again
   I still haven't had my fulfill
 
 
   [CHORUS]

   What's that song                straight back to the MAIN-RIFF.
 
 
   [VERSE 2] [play MAIN-RIFF]
 
   Broken heart and broken bones
   Finger plaster-cast of the horse pills
   One more quirky cliched phrase
   You're the one I wanna refill
 
 
   REPEAT CHORUS
 
 
   [GUITAR-SOLO]

   [Here's what he's saying
    behind the solo:]
 
   Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral
   Which have been painted brown and attached to the skull with common wood screws
   Can make a child look like a deer
 
   REPEAT CHORUS

   REPEAT CHORUS
 
   End by playing MAIN-RIFF once.

All the strings in the song should be tuned down 1/2 a step lower. so the tuning would be: Dflat Aflat Dflat Gflat etc.

I think this sounds better in Drop_D 1/2 step down (Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb). Also, what he's saying behind the solo is; “Most people don't realize that large pieces of coral, which have been painted brown and attached to the skull by common wood screws, can make a child look like a deer.” It's a quote from Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey, which is pretty funny actually. There's not always a hidden message to all Nirvana songs, sometimes they're just meant to be funny. Not every tracks an Iceberg.
