Hole - Where Did You Sleep Last Night

Tuning: EADGBE
Classic folk song famously performed by Leadbelly, and covered by Nirvana. Love and Cobain played the song
together at a Rock Against Rape benefit in Los Angeles in 1993, and Hole performed it often during
their 1991 tours. The chords are basically the same as all other versions, but I adapted it based
on what I hear in the live recordings from several Hole performances. Play with distortion.

Tell me where did you sleep last night?
[Repeat pattern throughout]
In a patch, in a patch
Where the sun never shines
And my body shivered all night
My girl, my girl don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In a patch, in a patch
Where the sun never shines
And my body shivered all night
Her husband was a hardworking man
Killed a mile and a half from here
His head was found on a driving wheel
And his body never was found
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In a patch, in a patch
Where the sun never shines
And my body shivered all night
My girl, my girl, where will you go?
I'm going where the cold wind blows
To a patch, to a patch
Where the sun never shines
And my body shivered all night
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me
Tell me where did you sleep last night?
In a patch, in a patch
Where the sun never shines
And my body shivers all night
