The verse riff is: E --------------- B --------------- G -------------0- this is played over and over again. The unopen strings D -----0--------- are played palm muted while the open string are played A ---8---8---8--- normally. E -9-------9----- The song goes: (Riff) It~s not cold enough Please put his side up She is moon gray Bb5 A5 G#5 (Riff) Can we show our faces now I~m not in a string She~s not turning gray Simple as it seems Bb5 A5 G#5 (Riff) Can we show our faces now D5 C#5 Endless climb!

For the chorus it's B barred at the 7th fret to E also barred at the 7th fret. If anyone can work out the words to this PLEASE can you email them to me on swelsh@plymouth.ac.uk A quick word : I have seen people trying to sell T Shirts with pictures of Kurts dead body on it. I don't know if suicide is justified but making money out of it certainly IS NOT so please don't.
