Serve the Servants
Words and music by Kurt Cobain
From Nirvana's In Utero (1993)
To play along with the CD (or any boots of the last tour),
tune down a half step: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb.
I still don't know the opening chord, but I've pretty much
figured out the rest of it, partly by watching the Oakland
video. I'm not great at naming chords, so help me out here.
Here are the fingerings for the chords used:
E A D G B E
Bm7 x 2 4 2 x x
Em7? x x 2 4 3 x *
F#? 2 4 4 3 0 0 *
E 0 2 2 1 0 0
A 5 7 7 6 5 5
C# x 4 6 6 6 4
G 3 5 5 4 3 3
* name that chord!
Verse riff:

Teenage angst has paid off well
F# E
Now I'm bored and old
Bmin7 Emin7
Self appointed judges judge
F# E
More than they have sold
Bmin7 Emin7
If she floats then she is not
F# E
A witch like we had thought
Bmin7 Emin7
A down payment on another
F# E
One at Salem's lot
A C# A
Serve the servants, oh no
C# A
Serve the servants, oh no
C# A
Serve the servants, oh no
C#
Serve the servants
F# G C#
That legendary divorce is such a bore
As my bones grew they did hurt
They hurt really bad
I tried hard to have a father
But instead I had a Dad
I just want you to know that I
Don't hate you anymore
There is nothing I could say
That I haven't thought before

Teenage angst... has paid off well
And the the rest of the chords...
If people want some tabs to most of the songs on In Utero, and I can tab up
what I've figured out -- and what've I've grabbed from the net.
