She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart Shaped box for a weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
hey
wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
...your advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on Angel Hair and babys breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

A couple of side notes
During the Chorus, you don't need to play it
exactly as it is. I always play it slopily.
The only reason I tabbed it like that is
because that is how it sounded when i
actually recorded it to help me tab it
accurately.
Also, during the improvisations I talked about
I would usually do something along the lines of these.

She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your Heart Shaped box for a weeks
I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
Hey!
Wait!
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on Angel Hair and babys breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

For the chords we are not so sure of the exact notes so we play:
e-(7)-(3)--0--- This is played up until the
B-(7)-(3)--0--- end of the chorus repeatedly,
G-(8)-(4)--1--- until the "Your priceless
D--9---5---2--- advice" where instead of
A--9---5---2--- going E-7-3-0-7-3-0 it goes
E--7---3---0--- E-7-3-0-3-0-3. I hope you
follow that as it is pretty simple.
We would be pleased to receive any improvements.
See ya 'gain,

HEART-SHAPED BOX Lyrics (from In Utero):
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for a week
I was drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hate
Haight
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey
Wait
I've got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel's hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

"Heart-Shaped Box" by Nirvana
(This transcription is from my own attempts, and a little is from a Guitar
World mag that I happened to be skimming thru.)
First Drop D tuning (where you tune the lowest string down one whole step to
D), then tune everything down 1/2 step. So, from low to high, the tuning is
Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Then the intro and verse go like this:
Ab5 E5 Db5
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
------2-----------------------------------------
----2---2--------3------------0----0-----------
--0------------3---3--------0----0---0---------
-------------3----------0-----------------------
Ab5 E5 Bb5
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
------2-----------------------------------------
----2---2--------3--------4-4--4---------------
--0------------3---3----------0---3-3-----2-----
-------------3----------0-----------------------
The verse ends with that Bb5 pattern with distortion. Then the chorus is
just those chords in the verse but with bent notes mixed in.
Ab5 E5 Bb5
-----------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------
--2--2----4*---------4*------4-4---4--------4*
--2--2---------3--3---------------0---3-3-----
--0--0---------3--3----------------------------
---------------3--3----------------------------
*bend 1/2
Then the bridge repeats this below pattern twice, then does that famous Bb5
pattern from the chorus:
E5 Db5
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---0--
--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---0--
--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---0--
At the end of the song, the Bb5 pattern is played as normal, but let the
notes ring, and that's what creates that weird guitar sound.
I'm nearly positive about most of the above stuff, but I'm not exactly sure
about that Bb5 pattern, but that's what that magazine said so I'm goin' with
that for now . If anyone knows the solo, pleez post it!

Here's the REAL way to play Heart-Shaped Box by Nirvana on In Utero.
The tuning is a little weird, you gotta tune the low E string so that the 8th
fret is A:
E A D G B e
5| 0 | | | | (the E is tuned 1 1/2 steps down)
| 0 | | | |
| 0 | | | |
8 0 | | | |
| 0 | | | |
| 0 | | | |
| 0 | | | |
