Bass Tab

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Dear OLGA:

Your current bass tab for "Spank Thru" by Nirvana in your archive is

wrong and incomplete. Attached is the correct version. Please replace

this with the old one, or add mine to it, etc.

SONG: Spank Thru

ARTIST: Nirvana

ALBUM: Sub Pop 200 (compilation)

AUTHOR: Kurt Cobain

TUNING: E A D G

The bass tab for Spank Thru that is already on OLGA is completely wrong

and very incomplete, so here is the right way to play it. The tab is

taken from the studio version released on Sub Pop 200 and verified by

the live version on From The Muddy Banks of the Wishkah and the demo

version recorded with Dale Crover. The rhythm may be a little off, but

you get the idea.
