About a Girl
Kurdt Cobain
Nirvana
Unplugged
1994
This is an obvious candidate for my page because
it is a great song for beginners. The chords are
simple, and it is a really good song, which
originally appeared on the Bleach album.
Cobain does it tuned down a half-step, so his low
string is Eb. Lyrics provided by Michael Gundlach.
Tune Down 1/2 Step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
There's not much to this song. Basically it is
E G with changes during the chorus.
