Nirvana - They Hung him On A Cross (Guitar Cover)

Although busy schedules interrupted the Jury's attempt to form a blues supergroup that could be – in the words of drummer Mark Pickerel – a "modern day version of Cream or Led Zeppelin," the somewhat awkward studio relationship between Kurt and Screaming Trees' Mark Lanegan didn't help. According to Michael Azerrad's Come As You Are, Kurt "kept worrying that he would come up with something that he'd want to use for Nirvana," but Pickerel suggests otherwise, recalling that "it was as if both Mark and Kurt had too much respect for each other to tell the other what to do, or even make suggestions for what they should be doing." In some ways the Jury's most faithful of their four Lead Belly covers, "They Hung Him On a Cross" solves this problem by featuring only Kurt and his guitar, dropping the tempo of the version that appears on Lead Belly's Last Sessions, Cobain's preferred collection of his work.

Tuning: Standard

Equipment used: Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar and Fender Mustang IV amp

Lyrics: They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross
For me

One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me

They whooped him up the hill
They whooped him up the hill
They whooped him up the hill
For me

One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They whooped him up the hill for me

He never said among them word
They never said among them word
They never said among them word
For me

One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross
For me

They bit him in the side
They bit him in the side
They bit him in the side
For me

One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me

He hung his head and died
He hung his head and died
He hung his head and died
For me

One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross
For me
