Lithium off of Nirvana's last concert in Rome (02-22-94)
I tuned my guitar 2 steps down (full drop d tuning), so instead of
it being EADGBE, it's DGCFAD. I'm pretty sure that's how Cobain has
it tuned. This is the main part of it. The verse is a lil different
each time (described in the diagram below). Just get the rhythm of
it and start playin it to the rhythm and you should get it sounding
right. I typed it up late so it might have some mistakes.
