THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
Tuning:Eb
[Intro]
Riff
[Verse]
We passed upon the stair
()N
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasnât there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
[Chorus]
Oh no not me
I never lost control
You re face to face
With the man who sold the world
[Break]
Riff
[Verse]
I laughed and shook his hand
And made my way back home
I searched for form and land
For years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazely stare
At all the millions here
We must have died alone
A long long time ago
[Chorus]
Who knows, Not me
We never lost control
You re face to face
With the man who sold the world
[Break]
Riff
[Chorus]
Who knows, Not me
We never lost control
You re face to face
With the man who sold the world

Nirvana â Polly
Tuning:Eb
[Verse]
-
Polly wants a cracker
-
Think I should get off of her first
-
I think she wants some water
-
To put out the blow torch
[Chorus]
It isn t me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I ve got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
[Verse]
-
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
-
A chase would be nice for a few
-
Polly says her back hurts
And she s just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
It amazes me, the will of instinct
[Chorus]
It isn t me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
I ve got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Nirvana â On a Plain
Tuning: Eb
[Verse 1]
I ll start this off
Without any words
I got so high that
I scratched til I bled
Bm
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
Bm
Love myself
Better than you
I know it s wrong
So what should I do?
[Chorus]
--
I m on a plain
--
I can t complain
--
I m on a plain
[Verse 2]
My mother died
Every night
It s safe to say
Don t quote me on that
Bm
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
Bm
Love myself
Better than you
I know it s wrong
So what should I do?
[Chorus]
--
I m on a plain
--
I can t complain
--
I m on a plain
[Bridge]
--
Somewhere I have heard this before
--
In a dream my memory has stored
-
As defence I m neutered and spayed
-
What the hell am I trying to say?
[Verse 3]
It is now time
To make it unclear
To write off lines
That don t make a sense
Bm
Love myself
Better than you
I know it s wrong
So what should I do?
One more special
Message to go
And then I m done
And I can go home
Bm
Love myself
Better than you
I know it s wrong
So what should I do?
[Chorus]
--
I m on a plain
--
I can t complain
--
I m on a plain
--
I can t complain

I m on a plain

I can t complain

I m on a plain

Many a hand has scaled the grand old face of the plateau
Fsus2
Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know
Fsus2
Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand
Fsus2
To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands
[Chorus]

The nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
Fsus2
And an illustrated book about birds
Fsus2
You see a lot up there but don t be scared
Fsus2
Who needs action when you got words

[Verse]
Fsus2
When you ve finished with the mop then you can stop

Fsus2
Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau

Others decided it was nowhere except for where they stood

But those were all just guesses, wouldn t help you if they could
