\nTAB: Where Did You Sleep Last Night?
\nWritten by Leadbelly
\nWhere Did You Sleep Last Night? - As performed by Nirvana
\n
\nTUNING: Down a Half-Step (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
\n
\nChord Voicings:
\n
\n E5: 022x0x or 022x00 (Either is find but I think Kurt uses the first)
\n A: x0222x
\n G: 320022 or 320002
\n B: x2444x
\nB/F#: 22444x
\n
\nOkay, the song starts off strumming the E5, then Kurt does the following
\nlittle run:
\n
\nE-|-----------------|-
\nB-|-----------------|-
\nG-|-----------------|-
\nD-|--------------2--|-
\nA-|--------------0--|-
\nE-|--0--2--3--0-----|-
\n
\nhe then strums the A, G, B then B/F#.. That's the entire progression,
\nthe little run is done only the first two times... Here's the
\nprogression simplified:
\n
\nE5 E5 E5 A G
\nMy girl, my girl, don't lie to me...
\n
\nG B B/F# E5
\nTell me where did you sleep last night...
\n
\n
\n--- That's the entire song.. Here's the lyrics:
\n
\nMy girl, my girl, don't lie to me
\nTell me where did you sleep last night
\nIn the pines, in the pines
\nWhere the sun don't ever shine
\nI would shiver the whole night through
\n
\nMy girl, my girl, where will you go
\nI'm going where the cold wind blows
\nIn the pines, in the pines
\nWhere the sun don't ever shine
\nI would shiver the whole night through
\n
\nHer husband, was a hard working man
\nJust about a mile from here
\nHis head was found in a driving wheel
\nBut his body never was found
\n
\nMy girl, my girl, don't lie to me
\nTell me where did you sleep last night
\nIn the pines, in the pines
\nWhere the sun don't ever shine
\nI will shiver the whole night through
\n<Sing it for me>
\n
\nMy girl, my girl, where will you go
\nI'm going where the cold wind blows
\nIn the pines, in the pines
\nWhere the sun don't ever shine
\nI would shiver the whole night through
\n
\nMy girl, my girl, don't lie to me
\nTell me where did you sleep last night
\nIn the pines, in the pines
\nWhere the sun don't ever shine
\nI will shiver the whole night through
\n
\nMy girl, my girl, where will ya go
\nI'm going where the cold wind blows
\nIn the pines, the pines
\nThe sun, the shine
\nI'll shiver the whole night though
\n
