Now, I posted an all power chord version of this song not too long ago
which is the way the song is played on the album (Nevermind). When you
ask for the 'acoustic' version of this song I'm not sure what you mean.
Do you mean the open chord version?
If so, then here's what you can do. I'm sending at the end of this
letter the power chord version that I posted before. The open chord
version has basically the same chords: E G D C for the lyrics and D C G
A# for the chorus. These are all simple major open chords chords and
when I play it this way, I use a barre major shape on the 6th fret for
the A# chord of the chorus. I hope this helps, please let me know of
any problems.
Thanx,
-Philip F. Gomez
PS. -Here's the power chord version of "Polly."
Note: Played as it is, it does sound good on an acoustic as well.
