The Man Who Sold the World - Nirvana

We passed upon the stair          [Verse]

We spoke of was and when  B  B  Em Em

Although I wasn't there   B  B  G   G

He said I was his friend  D   D   B  B½

Which came as a surprise  Em Em D   D

I spoke into his eyes

I thought you died alone          [Intro]

A long long time ago          G G Em Em

                              G G Em X

[Bridge] D G D# G - D G D#

(Oh no), not me            [Link] B  B

(We) never lost control           Em Em

You're face to face               G   G

With the man who sold the world   Em X


I laughed and shook his hand     [Bridge]

And made my way back home     (Who knows)

I searched for form and land          (I)

For years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare             [Fill]

We walked a million hills   B B Em Em

I must have died alone

A long long time ago             [Bridge]

                          (Who knows) (…)
