Nirvana - Return Of The Rat Tab

I don't think a decent tab  of this song exists so I've written one.
It's a simple song to play and fun, too.  One of my favorite Nirvana
ditties.  Here goes nothin'.

[verse 1]

A5 C5 G5

[the slide from Em

to A5 is a sort of bridge

from chorus to verse

Just roll right into the

verse without slowing

down]

[verse 2]

Repeat the first verse [an old Nirvana trick] and that's it.

Yep, I scewed up the solo. It's not played on the 2nd and 3rd

strings but on the 3rd and 4th strings. Everything else is ok.
