as recorded by Nirvana
from the No Alternative benefit album (last track-uncredited)
words and music by the late, great Kurt Cobain
transcribed by Robert Wolsey
Tuning (low to high string): Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Notes: I think Kurt played this one using flat tuning, since
it was recorded for In Utero and everything on that CD is
tuned down a half step. The chords shown below are the
chords you're pretending to play; the chords that come out
are a half step lower because of the tuning.
D A# G A
And if you save yourself
A# F D
You will make him happy
A# G A
He'll keep you in a jar
A# F D
And you'll think you're happy
A# G A
He'll give you breathing holes
A# F D
And you'll think you're happy
A# G A
He'll cover you with dust
A# G D A#
And you'll think you're happy now
G A#
You're in a laundry room
G A#
You're in a laundry room
G A# A
The clue just came to you, oh
And if you cut (guard?) yourself
You will think you're happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll make him happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll cover you with dust
Then you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Your clue just came to you
(guitar solo over verse chords)
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Your clue just came to you
And if you fool yourself
You will make him happy
He'll keep you in a jar
Then you'll think you're happy
He'll give you breathing holes
Then you will seem happy
You'll wallow in the shit
Then you'll think you're happy now
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
You're in a laundry room
Your clue just came to you, oh
