Nirvana - Polly
Nevermind
 
(He plays the chords in a choppy way
with palm mutes here and there)
 
 
[Intro]
Em  G  D  C
Em  G  D  C
 
(mild distortion)
 
[Verse 1]
Em  G             D      C
    Polly wants a cracker
Em    G                  D       C
    I think I should get off her first
Em  G                    D    C
    Think she wants some water
Em  G              D    C
    To put out the blow torch
 
[Chorus]
D    C
     Isn't me
G    Bb
     Have a seed
D    C
     Let me clip
G    Bb
     Dirty wings
D    C
     Let me take a ride
G    Bb
     Cut yourself
D    C
     Want some help
G    Bb
     Please myself
D    C
     Got some rope
G    Bb
     Haven't told
D    C
     Promise you
G    Bb
     Have been true
D    C
     Let me take a ride
G    Bb
     Cut yourself
D    C
     Want some help
G    Bb
     Please myself
 
[Instrumental]
Em  G  D  C
Em  G  D  C
 
[Verse 2]
Em  G             D      C
    Polly wants a cracker
Em  G               D         C
    Maybe she would like some food
Em      G           D      C
    She ask me to untie her
Em    G              D          C
    A chase would be nice for a few
 
[Chorus]
D    C
     Isn't me
G    Bb
     Have a seed
D    C
     Let me clip

     Let me take a ride
G    Bb
     Cut yourself

     Want some help
G    Bb
     Please myself
D    C
     Got some rope
G    Bb
     Haven't told
D    C
     Promise you
G    Bb
     Have been true
D    C
     Let me take a ride
G    Bb
     Cut yourself
D    C
     Want some help
G    Bb
     Please myself
 
[Interlude]

Polly said
 
[Verse 3]
Em  G              D        C
    Polly says her back hurts
Em  G             D        C
    She's just as bored as me
Em  G             D      C
    She caught me off my guard
Em   G             D    C
    Amazes me, the will of instinct
 
[Chorus]
D    C
     Isn't me
G    Bb
     Have a seed
D    C
     Let me clip
G    Bb
     Dirty wings
D    C
     Let me take a ride
G    Bb
     Cut yourself
D    C
     Want some help
G    Bb
     Please myself
D    C
     Got some rope
G    Bb
     Haven't told
D    C
     Promise you
G    Bb
     Have been true
D    C
     Let me take a ride
G    Bb
     Cut yourself
D    C
     Want some help
G    Bb
     Please myself
