This is the tab for the original version of Rock Star by Hole.  The song currently known 
as Rock Star is
actually called Olympia. When Kurt died, Live Through This had this as it's last track 
and Asking For It had
Kurt backing vocals near the end.  So from the time he died to the time the album was 
released (4 days) Geffen
had to reprint every disk with the other version of Asking For It and Olympia.  Except 
they didn't have time
to reprint the sleeves, so the misprint was permanent. This track was not released 
because of the line that says
"How'd you like to be Nirvana...Say you'd rather die" This was released on a single 
called Live Through This
Outtakes along with the other version of Asking For It.
