Last Verse Variations(On the first and last riffs of the last verse, Kristthrows in a 
extra notes to liven it up. Nothing big, but its there. Listen to the CD to see what I mean.)

First Riff Variation-No HUGE change, but it's there if you listen

D|--------------------5--5/7-7--------------|
A|-7--7-6--6-4--4-------------0-2-2/5-5-5-5-|

TERRITORIAL PISSING

well here is a cool as Nirvana song and it's really simple
G--------------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-5-6-6-5-6-6-5-6-6-5-6-6-|
E-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------------------|

The Chorus is almost the same "Gotta find a way a better way..."
G--------------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
E-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------------------|

and when the guitar stops and it's just Kurt singing and the drums and the bass it's the 
thing as the chorus.

DRAIN YOU
Verse Part:
G ---------------------------------|   The bass comes - “lucky to met me"
D ---------------------------------|   Played over and over for all verses.
A -2-2/6-6-6-6-----4-4-4-4---   <--|
E--------------4-4-----------------|

After, "and end up in your affection" or what ever that line is play:
G --------- Play this before chorus G --------------------------------|
D --------- <-----------------------D --------------------------------|
A -2-2-2-0- Play this three times:  A -----------------3-3-3-3-3-3-33-|
E --------- (chorus)--------------> E -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------------|

On the fourth time play:
G ----------------------------------------------------|
D ----------------------------------------------------|
A -----------------3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2--------------------|
E -0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3--|

Play that whole sequence again for the second verse and chorus.
Then after the chorus play this over and over again:

E -3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3

Play this and slam the string every time the guitar comes in real thrashy. Play the 
fret until they break into the verse part again. Play the first four sequences again and 
mastered Drain You.
