Once the band reaches the chorus, the song reaches full volume. He is joined by the rest of the band for the first verse, which is moody and subdued. Cobain used an Electro-Harmonix Small Clone guitar chorus pedal to give his instrument a 'watery' tone during the verses and pre-choruses. The song begins with Cobain playing an unaccompanied guitar riff for eight seconds. Vig sampled Cobain singing 'memoria' from the middle of the song and placed it in the background of the song near the end twice. He decided to keep the mistake in the final recording. During the harmony overdub session, Cobain accidentally sang the phrase 'And I don't have a gun' too early, appearing the fourth time he sings the word 'memoria' after the guitar solo. Vig then asked Cobain to double track his vocals throughout the entire song.

Cobain recorded his guitar solo in two takes, as well as three takes of vocals, of which the first was used. The group recorded the song with Vig during album sessions at Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, California, in early 1991. 'Come as You Are' was one of the few new songs Nirvana recorded onto the rehearsal tape the group sent to producer Butch Vig prior to the recording of Nevermind in 1991.
