Hi,
I decided as I'd learnt a few chords to go and but a book - so i got the best of Nirvana, and would like to play smells like teen spirit...
It shows the standard music notation, with the chords written above this, and the tab below.
apologies if this seems really, but the chords don't match the tab
ie it shows:-
e5
but the tab is
2
0
and A5 with tab
2
0
x
in my naive view I would have thought the tab would be
2
2
0
and
2
2
0
X
Am I misinterpreting something here? I can't make either of tem sound like the intro to teen spirit, but that is probably the player!
Thanks

The way you are used to playing it is with the octave included. A straight power chord as the book is showing is just the root and 5th so only two notes.

I think the original recording is in F, not the key of E, so it's not going to sound right ... does the book tell you to use a capo on the first fret, maybe?
cnev is right, a "5" chord or "power chord" has only two notes (and isn't technically a chord). So E5 has E and B (02xxxx), or E, B and a higher octave E (022xxx) as you mentioned, and which is also correct. Either way, only two different notes.

Yep - the original recording has the power chord sequence F-Bb-Ab-Db
