Mr Moustache
by Nirvana
From the album: Bleach
This song is one of those songs you tend to loathe at first, but
then they sink inside you. The main riff is pretty easy……until you try
to play it as fast as Kurt did. Play this song with heavy distortion.
Normal tuning
Main riff:
D|——————-|——————|
A|——2————|—1—————|
E|—-3—3-2-1-0-1-2|-3—3-2-1-0-1-2—|
Riff A
G
E|——————|
B|——————|
G|——————|
D|—-0-0———-|
A|—-2-2———-|
E|—-3-3-0-1-2-2—|
Intro: Play the main riff 4 times, followed by Riff A played 4 times
Verse: Use Riff A throughout the verse until the part where Kurt sings «Yes
I eat cow, I am not proud» then play either:
a) the main riff 2 times after the first/third verse
b) the main riff 4 times after the second/forth verse
Chorus

D|—-4-x-5-5-5-5-5-5-5—| played 4 times

G|———————5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6—|
D|—-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6—| played a couple of times
A|—-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6—|
E|—-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5——————|
The ending is just the main riff being played over and over getting slower
and slower until it finally ends on a G
Lyrics
________________________________________
Verse 1 and 3
Fill me in on your new vision, wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes I eat cow, I am not proud
Verse 2 and 4
Show me how you question question, lead the way to my temptation
Take my hand and give it cleaning,
Yes I eat cow, I am not proud
Chorus
Easy in an easy chair
Poop as hard rock
I don’t like you anyway
Seal it in box
Now You

That’s all, at the end just play the intro, but slower it’s really easy, and
end it with a G power chord (355xxx)
Comments or whatever, or just for the hell of it

Note.- Almost every time I play guitar, I play an open chord between each
chord (0xxxxx) or (00xxxx) and that’s how I tab it, you may as well not play
that open chord, it’s up to you.
