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

Subject: TAB: "Vaseline Cover Songs" by Nirvana
I've decided to list all three of the Vaseline cover songs Nirvana has done,
since they're all real short (Molly's Lips, Son of a Gun, and Jesus Wants Me
For A Sunbeam). (a chord notation is at the end of this document for the
musically retarded)
*Molly's Lips*
This is just two chords throughout. Just G5 C5. That's it!
*Son of a Gun*
The intro and verse is A5 E5 D5 E5
Chorus: G5 C5 D5 C5
The interlude is just basically G5 D5 a couple of times, then A5 E5* a
couple of times, then back to G5 D5 four times.
*Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam*
Verse: E5 D5 A5
Chorus: E5 D5 E5 D5 E5 D5 A5
The solo (and the accordion part in the Unplugged version, I think) goes like
this:
-----------------------------------------------------------| -----------------9-7---------------------------------------| --6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9-7-6---------7-6------------| --------------------------------------7--7-7------7--7-7---| -----------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------|
In live versions, the first and third verse are clean, while the choruses,
second verse, and solo are distorted. But both live electric versions and
the acoustic Unplugged version are played this way. On Unplugged it's tuned
down 1/2 step and for the outro the above tab is played once and then this is
played:
---------------------------------------------| -----------------9-7-------------7--9--10----| --6-7-8-9--9-9------9-7--7-7--9--------------| ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------|
chord notation
E5 : 022xxx
G5 : 355xxx or 3x00xx
A5 : 577xxx or x022xx
C5 : x355xx
D5 : x577xx or xx023x
E5* : x799xx
