Fsus2   Bbsus2  Ab
 Load up on guns
  Db          Fsus2
Bring your friends
     Bbsus2 Ab
It's fun to lose
    Db    Fsus2
And to pretend
       Bbsus2 Ab
She's over -  bored
    Db     Fsus2
and self-assured
      Bbsus2 Ab   Db
I know I know a dirty word

 Hello, hello, hello, how low (x4)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         Fsus2      Bbsus2
With the lights out
          Ab        Db
It's less dangerous
        Fsus2   Bbsus2
Here we are now
     Ab      Db
Entertain us
       Fsus2   Bbsus2
I feel stupid
       Ab      Db
And contagious
        Fsus2   Bbsus2
Here we are now
     Ab      Db
Entertain us
     Fsus2 Bbsus2
A mulatto
     Ab      Db
An albino
      Fsus2 Bbsus2
A mosquito
     Ab   Db
My libido     Yeah

[Verse]
 
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
 
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello
 
 
[Chorus]

Here we are now
     Ab      Db
Entertain us
       Fsus2   Bbsus2
I feel stupid
       Ab      Db
And contagious
        Fsus2   Bbsus2
Here we are now
     Ab      Db
Entertain us
     Fsus2 Bbsus2
A mulatto
     Ab      Db
An albino
      Fsus2 Bbsus2
A mosquito
     Ab   Db
My libido     Yeah, hey, yay
 
 
[Verse]
 
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard, it's hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
 
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
Hello, hello, hello
 
 
[Chorus]
 
         Fsus2      Bbsus2
With the lights out
          Ab        Db
It's less dangerous
        Fsus2   Bbsus2
Here we are now
     Ab      Db
Entertain us
       Fsus2   Bbsus2
I feel stupid
       Ab      Db
And contagious
        Fsus2   Bbsus2
Here we are now

The Fsus2 above "pretend" sounds right, because the melody lands on the G, but would the two previous Fsus2 sound better as Fm? Awesome chords, thank you for posting!

There's this super pretty boy who's like a reincarnation of Kurt Cobain and so I'm learning a Nirvana song whilst thinking about him, to be perfectly honest

Great chords, much better than the others on this site!I just think it´s easier to play if you put a capo on 1st. Just transpose the song 1/2 step down to get the right chords.
