Song: Something In the Way
Artist: Nirvana
Album: Nevermind & MTV Unplugged
Tabbed by: Matt Finateri (rastaman338@hotmail.com)
TUNING: Db Ab Db Db Db db
NOTE: It doesn`t really matter what you tune the high e and B strings
to because they are not played in this song. However it`s good to tune
them as a Db aswell, so if you accidentally hit them while playing, it
won`t sound bad. :)
You might be confused as to tuning the G string UP or DOWN because either
way it is exactly 6 semi-tones away from Db. Make sure you TUNE IT DOWN!
You want it to be at the exact same pitch as the D string (Db).
There are two versions of this song. The version from Nevermind has
verses that are strummed, and the version from MTV Unplugged has verses
that are picked.
This is the version from MTV Unplugged:

CHORUS: Both versions are the same as the verses from Nevermind.
Underneath a bridge
the tarp has sprung a leak
and the animals I`ve trapped
have all become my pets
I`m living off of grass
and the drippings from the ceiling
it`s okay to eat fish
cause they don`t have any feelings
Something in the way
Mmmm...
Something in the way, yeah
Mmmm...
