Come As You Are Tab

Nirvana's "Come As You Are"
From Nevermind (1991)

*************************************************
Many Nirvana songs are played in drop D. I prefer
to play this song in drop D also. It just seems a
bit smoother and makes the Chorus and Bridge much
easier to play. Many thanks to Robin Sloan, from
whom I learned the standard tuning version.

Good Luck,
Leighton Gelders

Come:
As you are.
As you were.
As I want you to be.
As a friend. 
As a friend.
As an old enemy.

Take your time. 
Hurry up.
The choice is yours.
Don't be late. 
Take a rest:
As a friend.
As an old memory,
A memory,
A memory,
A memory.

Come:
Dowsed in mud.
Soaked in bleach.
As I want you to be.
As a trend.
As a friend. 
As an old memory,
A memory,
A memory,
A memory.

And I swear that I don't have a gun.
No I don't have a gun.
