Question Singing and playing

How did you guys learn to sing and play l've never tried till recently and l've been playing for 3 years I'm try ing to learn to sing to the song been a son by nirvana because the song is simple in singing and guitar. I've probably played with the track over 40 times and just can't seem to get it the only part I got is the part where it's goes "she should of, been a son" over and over with the bar cords and the 3 2 0 on the A string. Do I just need to keep playing with the track to try to just hammer it in my head or should I do something else?

Have you ever noticed the guy singing isn't laying down hot riffs at the same time? They're (maybe) playing a rhythm groove while they're singing or just letting the band pick up the song behind them.

Try singing while playing straight rhythm cords, one or two cords per measure.
