Nirvana - Polly (As played in Unplugged in NY CD)

Comments:
This is the very first song I`ve learned to play in full length. I tried to transcribe the tab so it is as accurate as possible, not just chords (that`s what I found on most of Nirvana`s fan sites. This is the way I play it, and it sounds fairly correct.) It sounds good in both standard and half-step down tunings (On the CD it is played with the guitar tuned half-step down).

Verse:
Polly wants a cracker
I think I should get off her first
I think she wants some water
To put out the blow torch
Chorus:
It isn`t me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don`t hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I`ve got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don`t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Polly wants a cracker
Maybe she would like more food
She asks me to untie her
A chase would be nice for a few
It isn`t me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don`t hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I`ve got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don`t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
Polly said
Polly says her back hurts
She`s just as bored as me
She caught me off my guard
Amazes me, the will of instinct
It isn`t me
We have some seed
Let me clip
Your dirty wings
Let me take a ride
Don`t hurt yourself
I want some help
To help myself
I`ve got some rope
You have been told
I promise you
I have been true
Let me take a ride
Don`t hurt yourself
I want some help
To please myself
