NIRVANA  -  ANEURYSM

DRUMMER : Dave Grohl

tabber : Alex Scott

notes:

In my tabs, if i say 'x2' it means play that part through twice, and
go on to the next part.
Also, you will see that in some parts i will hit two crashes at the same time.
This is optional, but i do it because it sounds better. Just hit one crash if
you want, or if you only have one, hit the crash and ride)
On the intro and outro:
Use loose hi - hats or smash the ride and if it were a crash - that is how Dave
used to play it live.
I am right handed, and some notes in the tab reflect this.


S - snare				f - flam
t - tom					x - hi - hat stroke
F - Floor Tom				o - normal hit
B - Bass Drum				O - accented hit
C1- First Crash
C2- Second Crash

4 4 timing all the way thru
