On A Plain - Nirvana

D      G           F5      E5-03-E5-D
    I'll start this off without any words
D      G           F5      E5-03-E5-D
        Got so high, scratched til I bled
C           Bm7 A            D      G5          F5           E5    03     E5 D
Love myself better than you, I know it's wrong so what should I do
       G      F5         E5 03 E5 D
The finest day that I've ever had
        G         F5           E5  03 E5 D
Was when I learned to cry on the man
C          Bm7 A             D      G5          F5           E5    03     E5 D  G5   F5
Love myself better than you, I know it's wrong so what should I do-ooo-ooo

             D     G5   F5                     D     G5   F5
I'm on a plain ooo ooo, I can't complain ooo ooo
             D     G5   F5
I'm on a plain ooo ooo

D      G         F5   E5-03-E5-D
   My mother died every night
D      G        F5          E5      03 E5 D
   It's safe to say don't quote me on that
C            Bm7 A             D       G5         F5           E5    03     E5 D
  Love myself, better than you, I know it's wrong so what should I do
       G                F5  E5     03      E5 D
The black sheep got black mailed again
      G       F5 E5-03-E5 D
Forgot to put on the zip code
C          Bm7 A             D      G5          F5           E5    03     E5 D  G5   F5
Love myself better than you, I know it's wrong so what should I do-ooo-ooo

             D     G5   F5                     D     G5   F5
I'm on a plain ooo ooo, I can't complain ooo ooo
             D     G5   F5
I'm on a plain ooo ooo
 

F                   E                        A         G
  Some where I have heard this before
F       E                                 A         G
  In a dream my memory has stored
F        E                                 A         G
  In defense I'm neutered and spayed
F              E                          A         G
  What the hell am I trying to say

D  G         F5      E5     03 E5 D
  It is now time to make it unclear
D     G           F5         E5    03 E5 D
  To write off lines that don't make sense
C            Bm7 A             D       G5         F5           E5    03     E5 D
  Love myself, better than you, I know it's wrong so what should I do
G              F5      E5   03   E5 D
One more special message to go
G            F5         E5 03 E5 D
Then I'm done and I can go home
C         Bm7 A             D       G5           F5          E5    03     E5 D  G5 F5
Love myself better than you, I know it's wrong so what should I do-ooo-ooo

             D     G5   F5                     D     G5   F5
I'm on a plain ooo ooo, I can't complain ooo ooo
             D     G5   F5                     D     G5   F5
I'm on a plain ooo ooo, I can't complain ooo ooo
             D     G5   F5                     D     G5   F5
I'm on a plain ooo ooo, I can't complain ooo ooo
             D     G5   F5                     D     G5   F5
I'm on a plain ooo ooo, I can't complain ooo ooo

                                                             ooo ooo

Fake News Alert:

Despite all the authoritative BS about this line
everywhere on the interwebs . . .
it's "cry on the man", not "cry on command"

Still got your head stuck on the cow level?
Check out the unplugged version
where you can see Kurt Cobain's mouth
actually say the words.

What's it mean?
My theory is it's Kurt having himself a little gråtrunka

Which, if true, changes the overall meaning of this song
considerably . . .
