Nirvana - Lithium Guitar Cover
When Kurt Cobain appeared on Calvin Johnson's "Boy Meets Girl" show on Evergreen State College's KAOS Community Radio, in September 1990, he brought along an acoustic guitar and a few new tunes. Just how new were they? As Cobain told the K Records founder during an on-air chat, he had written most of the lyrics that evening, adding, jokingly, "while I was driving…with one foot."
The song itself is about the experience Kurt Cobain had when he spent a period of his life moving between the homes of various relatives and friends. One of these friends came from a family of reformed Christians, and in this song Kurt compares living in this house to having bi-polar depression.
Tuning: About quarte step down
Lyrics: I'm so happy
Cause today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly
That's okay cause so are you
We broke our mirrors
Sunday morning
Is every day for all I care
And I'm not scared
Lights my candles
In a daze cause I found God
Hey hey hey
Yeah hey
Yeah hey mmmm
Yeah hey
I'm so lonely
That's okay I shaved your head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe
I'm to blame for all I've heard
And I'm not sure
I'm so excited
I can't wait to meet you there
And I don't care
I'm so horny
That's okay my will is good
Hey hey hey
Yeah hey
Yeah hey mmmm
Yeah hey
