>From the album Vitalogy
Transcription by Mark van 't Zet (tmvtzet@cs.vu.nl)
This song is played in the key of F, and requires tuning up
the 1st and 2nd string to respectively F and C. You can also
capo the 1st fret and play it as E- and A-shapes.
Furthermore I'll abbreviate the chordnames if you
don't mind :-)
