Nirvana — Sappy (aka Versus Chorus Verse)
——————————————
I think it’s more accurate then the ones I’ve seen…
Sappy as recorded by Nirvana from the Outcesticide I album, acoustic version.
Normal Tuning.
Words and Music by: Kurt Cobain
Transcribed by: Sem van Blerkem
*Verse*:
And if you save yourself
You will make him happy
He’ll keep you in a jar
And you’ll think you’re happy
He’ll give you breathing holes
And you’ll think you’re happy
He’ll cover you with dust
And you’ll think you’re happy now
B5 Gmaj7 Esus2 F#sus4

And if you kill yourself
You will think you’re happy

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’ll seem happy
You’ll wallow in the shit
Then you’ll think you’re happy now
*Chorus*:
You’re in a laundry room
You’re in a laundry room
The clue that came to you, oh
*Kurt ends the song with*:

title: «sappy»
(i’m sure some of you know this as «verse chorus verse». it was an
earlier recording, 1988 i believe)
artist: kurt cobain
disc: «live and demos,» «unhappy,» etc.
tuning: standard, i believe. may be tuned down a half step
(Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb)
effects: none what so ever; in fact, it sounds best on an acoustic guitar,
as that’s how it was recorded. if doing it on an electric, i suggest turning
the tone down for a lower sound, not as crisp.

..i know this is a really «incomplete» tab, but i’m clueless as to what the
chorus is. anyway, here’re the words:
verse one:
and if you save your friends, you will make her happy.
and if you do what’s told, you will make me happy.
i’ll keep you in a jar, and you will seem happy.
i’ll give you breathing holes, you will think you’re happy, now..
chorus:
you’re in a laundry room.. you’re in a laundry room.. you’re in a laundry
room..
verse two:
and if you save yourself, you will make him happy.
i’ll bring you fire and wars, and you will feel happy..
i’ll keep you in a room, i’m sure you’ll be happy..
and if you save what’s old, you will think you’re happy, now..
that’s it. questions/comments/criqtiques?
