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



I hope you have found this usefull.  If you come across any glaring 

errors mail me and I'll fix them.  I don't have my guitar right here 

so the solo may be fucked.  If you have difficulties  mail me and 

I'll get you a proper copy.

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.
