Even in His Youth

8/11/2019 Even in His Youth

1/4

Recording: 2nd track on the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" CD single. Also knownas "Smells Like a Teenage Single". Previously unreleased.

Tab: 1.0 by Peter Jay Salzman [email protected]: Allegro, about 144 bpm.Sound: Not Cobain's standard sound, which is why this tune is interesting. Very distorted with the mids turned up super duper (ie 10) and

lows turned up also. A very muddy distortion with lots ofharmonics giving it an almost pipe organ sound. A very Marshallsound, but in the OPPOSITE sense of Hendrix who had the treble

turned high.

Intro: Feedback on 12 fret, 1st string (high E).

The following riff is the vamp and verse. For those who want to do itjust like the recording, vamp the 2 measures 2 times, then drums enteron the third time. Vocals enter on the fifth repeat.

chorus (1st time around): chorus (2nd time around):1st line is truly incomprehensible. 1st line incomprehensibleI've got nothing left to prove I've got nothing left to prove

If I die far away If I die far awayHope I don't come back again. Hope I don't come back the same.

After the chorus is done the 2nd time, go back and play the verse part.The song fades from here while Kurt just sang "even his youth even inhis youth even in his youth even in his youth". If you can't fadegracefully (I'm not good at it myself), chop it off at the C.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------This is my 1st tab. I'm just trying to put back into the net a little bit ofwhat I take. I have 4 urgent requests from everyone: 1) If there are anycorrections in the song or lyrics PLEASE write to me and I'll correct it andrerelease the tab. 2) If anyone can even guess at the 1st line in the chorus,please let me know. 3) I'm not objective enough to know if I did a good job.If there's anything I can do to make this more usable, let me know. (ie shouldI just write out the verse instead of partitioning by chord? Should I writeout the whole tab instead of taking short cuts like "repeat 4 times"). Nosuggestion is too trivial to be seriously considered. 4) What Kurt did wasfucked and he's a fucker for doing it, but he brought a lot of good music inthe world and deserves to be loved for it.
