Chords for Kurt Cobain's Last Phone Call To Pat Smear

_ The song is called smells like teen spirit before [F] David joined the band [E] there was a
Message on my answering machine from Kurt [Gb] same
We have the best drummer in the world.
He's the greatest drummer in the world.
I'm not kidding you.
He's awesome, dude
_ _ And he hung up about a week later
We were in LA and I walked into a rehearsal space with [Ab] him and Dave walked up skinny long hair
He's like hey, man.
I'm Dave nice to meet you
He was just full of energy and I was like well, let's play play me some songs you guys play me some songs [Bb] and they played teen spirit
[Ab] Dave did the problem the bubble the [F] bottle the pot and it just [Ab] floored me
_ [Db] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ Of course [F] everybody was telling the band that [Ab] they thought [Dbm] we were great
[N] But I don't think the three of us ever believed a [D] word of anything anyone was telling us
We never thought we were gonna sell a million records
None of us had any idea that it was gonna completely change my life in their lives
But I knew that they sounded really tight and pretty focused and that they'd written some amazingly powerful songs
_ _ [Db] _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] We knew something was happening because the atmosphere of the gigs just changed they went from being [Bb] cool
[Abm] _ hipster underground [C] people in a club to
_ _ Like jocks [F] were coming to the show that was the first thing like we got his jocks _
It's kind of strange what [Dbm] they like our music.
[Ab] He used to kick my fucking ass for listening to this music.
_ [Db] _ _
[F] I
[Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Dbm] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] Was a really big fan of Nirvana like everybody else and I happen to be reading an interview with Kurt
Where he had mentioned in the interview Nirvana was always meant to be a four-piece.
It's meant to be a two guitar man
It was never meant to be a three-piece.
I thought oh
Well, that's my end
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [A] _ Pat is from this legendary punk rock band called the germs
That we all grew up listening to there was no one more badass than the germs germs didn't give a fuck
[G] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ [G] So Pat shows up in Seattle and all of us were just like [B] my god, hey, it's Pat smear from the germs
_ _ He's alive
[D] So now Nirvana is hitting the big halls with guitarist Pat smear helping to make the loud [F] louder
The day before the first rehearsal I saw my picture on MTV news saying [Gm] Nirvana the new guitar [Ab] player
Pass me here.
Well, [B] I was like, oh my [Db] god, it's real [Bb] there it is
[Db] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [B] _ _ [Db] _
_ [Bb] I don't think Kurt wanted [Eb] to be a huge [C] fucking rock star and
[Eb] _ I don't think he could handle how complicated it had all become. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] No one was very happy with
the tour or the band
So Kurt decided he wants a break
Even though we're on this tour that you can't [N] get out of because you're a big band you get sued
We had like a week and a half off in between two legs of the tour.
I
decided to fly home and _ _
Kurt went to Rome
Where he was meeting Courtney love his wife _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] I'm Tabitha Soren with MTV News Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was hospitalized in a coma in Rome [Gb] Italy on Friday [Bb] morning
I turned on the TV and
Kurt was [Eb] being wheeled
_ away [Bb] in an ambulance in Rome I
[Eb] _ _ [Gb] Went to the hospital with him [Bb] and I didn't know what to do up [Bb] because I thought
[Gb] Do I say this is Kurt Cobain take care of him right away VIP?
_ [Bbm] Or do I say this is just some guy don't call the press.
[Db] I finally went with this is Kurt Cobain _ _ _ _
VIP do something about it _ _
Nirvana spokespeople reported encouraging signs saying they'd been told Kurt Cobain was responding to his name
Opening his eyes and squeezing his wife's hand when he came home.
I remember talking to him on the phone and _
_ _ _ Saying hey, man, _ I don't want you to die.
Okay _ _
He was very apologetic.
No, no, I'm sorry.
It's big mistake.
Took these pills.
I was drinking the champagne and some Rome _
it was
Just a just made a mistake
_ _ _ _ _ _ It [Gb] _ [Db] was really sad I had a message from Kurt, but I wasn't out and so whatever help he needed for me
I couldn't help him _ _
_ And that's last time I ever talked to myself _ _ _
