Floyd the Barber
by Kurt Cobain
As interpreted by Rick Scaia (ag725@freenet.carleton.ca)
The primary riff for this tune is just an F power chord (for two quarter
notes) then a quick slide down to a heavily muted E power chord (two
eighths and a quarter note). If you've heard the song, it's pretty
easy. The chorus and solo aren't much more difficult.
Intro: F E F E
Verse:
F E F E
Hello toilet trained, come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
"Sit down in the chair, don't be afraid."
Steaming hot towel on my face
Chorus:
C# A C G#
I was
sha-a-a-a-a-a-a-ved, I'm
asha-a-a-a-a-a-a-med, I was
asha-a-a-a-a-a-a-med
Main riff twice
Verse 2:
[Something indecipherable] in the room
Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered, Andy's not
Chorus
Solo:

A ---------0-1-3-3-1-0--------------0-1-3-3-1-0--------
E -1-1-0-1-------------3-1--1-1-0-1-------------3-1----
Verse 3
Main riff once, then bass only on main riff, then drums only.
[If you're just playing alone, just play it three time, and mute
it more each time until the third time is extremely percussive sounding.]
