The Man Who Sold the World Chords & Lyrics by Nirvana
The Man Who Sold the World
guitar chords lyrics
Simple song but first tab so go easy, constructive criticism appreciated, childish abuse
so
Standard tuning, capo on 4th, (or if you don't have one just cut a chopstick in half and
it down to the fretboard with a shoestring or something)
Just experiment with different strumming patterns, I tried a cheeky
'D-D-U-U-D-U' and it seemed to was listenable. Just make sure you hit the high strings
the upstrokes.
For an easy little intro on the one string, see the tab below (s=slide, repeat 3 or 4
and in between verses).
Alternatively, just mess around with E and Am for an intro.

(Nothing played here) E
We passed upon the stair
Am
We spoke of was and when
E
Although I wasn't there
C
He said I was his friend
C G
Which came as a sur-prise
E
I spoke into his eyes
Am
I thought you died alone
G
A long long time a-go
C
Oh no, not me (mess around with high e string here if you like)
F C
We never lost con-trol
G C
You're face to face
F E
With The Man Who Sold The World (repeat Intro here)
E
I laughed and shook his hand
Am
And made my way back home
E
I searched for form and land
C
For years and years I roamed
G
I gazed a gazeless stare
E
At all the millions here
Am
I must have died a-lone
G
A long, long time a-go
C
Who knows?
C
Not me
F C
We never lost con-trol
G C
You're face to face
F E
With the Man who Sold the World Am
Optional; repeat the last bit
