Rape Me Ver 2 by Nirvana
Nirvana - Rape Me ver 2 guitar tab
SONG: RAPE ME
ALBUM: IN UTERO
WRITTEN BY: COBAIN
TABBED BY: TOM.B
|----Key-----| This sounds accurate to me. Correct me if anything is wrong
|x palm mute| !!Powerchord version NOT CHORD VERSION (i.e. A C E G)!!
|~ let ring | !!Tune half-a-step down: Thanx to guy who pointed this out!!
NOTE: People are saying 'you are playing powerchords at the wrong places', an A5 can
be played either on 5th fret of the E string, or open on the A string. I play it on
the 5th fret of E so thats how i've tabbed it. You can play it anywhere as long as
you are playing the correct note.
