For a band defined by angst and immortalized by suicide, Nirvana could be uncommonly funny. "Start this off without any words," Cobain offers by way of an opening here, landing on one of his best refrains: "Love myself better than you/I know it's wrong, but what can I do?" The riff is chipper, the melody delivered in the singsong of a nursery rhyme. In a lot of ways it parodies the person Cobain became: A junkie too lost in his own pain to realize he has control over it, the voice of a generation wondering what the hell he's trying to say. Apparently he wrote the lyrics five minutes before recording them.

Tuning: Drop D.

Equipment used: Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar, Boss DS-1 and Fender Mustang IV amp.

Lyrics: I'll start this off without any words
I got so high that I scratched 'til I bled

I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The finest day that I ever had
Was when I learned to cry on command

I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain

My mother died every night
It's safe to say, don't quote me on that

I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

The black sheep got blackmailed again
Forgot to put on the zip code

I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

I'm on a plain
I can't complain
I'm on a plain

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
As a defense I'm neutered and spayed
What the hell am I trying to say?

It is now time to make it unclear
To write off lines that don't make sense

I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

And one more special message to go
And then I'm done, then I can go home

I love myself better than you
I know it's wrong so what should I do?

(x5)
I'm on a plain
I can't complain

  • Nirvana is my favorite band of all time, they just wrote some great music and its all good, I dont think I really hate any of the songs Nirvana did. And the Unplugged performance was amazing. It should have lasted a lot longer than it did, Heck all the music we didnt get is to this day kind of painful to think about.
  • The best fucking cover of this song in the fucking world, very nice Tom lml
  • I don't think there is a better looking guitar than a jag. So classy looking but you know it can be dirty. That's pretty much how I like my women. Great cover mate.
  • kurt used to have a thing where he would hit the back of the neck of the guitar with his palm so it would make more of a distorted noise
  • Well done. Hammering on the chords like Kurt gets the sound....
  • @nirv8
    Good cover, when I saw nirvana this song was the encore!
  • @wildb784

  • i'm learning so much from you, thanks a lot!!!
