Nirvana - Return Of The Rat tab

Return of the Rat
as performed by Nirvana
from the compilation 
"Eight Songs for Greg Sage & the Wipers"
written by Greg Sage & the Wipers
tabbed by  Lee Harvey Oswald 

I don't think a decent tab  of this song exists so I've written one.
It's a simple song to play and fun, too.  One of my favorite Nirvana 
ditties.  Here goes nothin'.

Standard tuning

                                            Just roll right into the 
                                            verse without slowing 
                                            down]

Repeat the first verse [an old Nirvana trick] and that's it. 

I hope you have found this usefull.  If you come across any glaring 
errors mail me and I'll fix them.  I don't have my guitar right here 
so the solo may be fucked.  If you have difficulties  mail me and 
I'll get you a proper copy.

Yep, I scewed up the solo.  It's not played on the 2nd and 3rd 
strings but on the 3rd and 4th strings.  Everything else is ok.
