Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Guitar Cover)

This is my fav version of Where Did You Sleep Last Night from With The Lights Out. "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" or "In The Pines" is a century-old tune known by many names and played in what seems like endless variations. The song is loosely concerning a mix of murder, trains, runaways, adultery and depression. The song had successfully passed in the oral tradition, becoming a well-known tune for both bluegrass hero Bill Monroe and blues legend Lead Belly. Kurt and Krist first played it on Mark Lanegan’s 1990 solo album The Winding Sheet, and later they would do their own version. And what a version it was to become! Nirvana's version from MTV Unplugged builds from a sentimental brood to implacable frenzy. A perfect and tragic endpoint.
Tuning: Half step down
Equipment used: 1967 Stella Harmony 12 string(with 5 nylon strings, same set-up as Kurt had)
Lyrics
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
The husband was a hard working man
And his children the sailed museum
His head was found in a driving wheel
And his body was never found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night
In the pines, in the pines
Where the sun don't ever shine
I would shiver the whole night through
