White Lace and Strange Tabs & Lyrics by Nirvana
White Lace and Strange
guitar tabs lyrics
This is off of the Nirvana �With the Lights Out� and I kind of liked the song, so I tabbed
it. And I cannot believe how crappily everybody else tabs it. I�m positive this is correct,
I�m not completely sure about the chorus, yet that is the way I think Kurt may have played
it. It�s pretty easy. I tried to get some of the solo in, but I just couldn�t figure it
all out, so I would just play the part of the solo that is tabbed for the first 8 measures
and improvise on the rest of the 16 measures.
Meter: 4/4
8 measures of Bass intro, then this:

And just improvise on the rest of the solo for the remaining 16 measures since it�s pretty
much undistinguishable.
