Floyd the Barber
by Kurt Cobain
As interpreted by Rick Scaia (ag725@freenet.carleton.ca)
The primary riff for this tune is just an F power chord (for two quarter
notes) then a quick slide down to a heavily muted E power chord (two
eighths and a quarter note). If you've heard the song, it's pretty
easy. The chorus and solo aren't much more difficult.
Intro: F E F E

Verse 2:
[Something indecipherable] in the room
Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered, Andy's not

Main riff twice
Verse 3
Chorus
Main riff once, then bass only on main riff, then drums only.
[If you're just playing alone, just play it three time, and mute
it more each time until the third time is extremely percussive sounding.]
