This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
Intro
Feedback on 12 fret, 1st string (high E).
The following riff is the vamp and verse. For those who want to do it
just like the recording, vamp the 2 measures 2 times, then drums enter
on the third time. Vocals enter on the fifth repeat.

Chorus (1st time around): Chorus (2nd time around):
Lead this poor boy on through. Lead this poor boy on through.
I've got nothing left to prove. I've got nothing left to prove.
If I die before I wake If I die before I wake
Hope 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 sings "even in his youth even in
his youth even in his youth even in his youth". If you can't fade
gracefully (I'm not good at it myself), chop it off at the C.
