Return of the Rat
as performed by Nirvana
from the compilation 
"Eight Songs for Greg Sage & the Wipers"
written by Greg Sage & the Wipers
tabbed by  Lee Harvey Oswald 

I don't think a decent tab  of this song exists so I've written one.
It's a simple song to play and fun, too.  One of my favorite Nirvana 
ditties.  Here goes nothin'.

Standard tuning 

  [verse 1]
    A5      C5      G5

E|--5-5-5-X---------3-3-3-3-3-3-3---|
    You better watch out
    You better beware
    They're coming from all sides of the country
    You better beware

  [chorus]

                                            to A5 is a sort of bridge
                                            from chorus to verse  
                                            Just roll right into the 
                                            verse without slowing 
                                            down]
