Version 1
            From:  (Rick Scaia)

Floyd the Barber
by Kurt Cobain

As interpreted by Rick Scaia ()

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.

Verse:

F     E               F          E
Hello toilet trained, come on in

Floyd observes my hairy chin
F         E                   F           E
"Sit down in the chair, don't be afraid."
F            E     F     E
Steaming hot towel on my face

Opie, Aunt Bea, I presume

I die smothered, Andy's not

Main riff twice


Verse 3


Chorus


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.]
