/ Nine Inch Nails / The Downward Spiral (1994) / Piggy guitar tab

piggy

From: OllieOne@aol.com
I have not seen this posted yet so I decided to post this littly 
ditty by NINE INCH NAILS from the Downward Spiral album.   I figured 
this song out some of the parts on an out-of-tune bass and some 
other parts on an acoustic guitar, but I believe that it is all correct.  
It sounds good anyway. well here it goes-----

bass guitar parts

**************************************************************************
verse:
G |---------------------------------------|
D |---------------------------------------|  play this a couple times
A |--3---5--------3---5-------7p--5-------|
E |--------5---3--------5---3-------------|

**************************************************************************
chorus:
(part A)
G |------------------------------------------------------|
D |------------------------------------------------------|
A |--3----5---5---5----3----5---5---5----3----5---5---5--|
E |------------------------------------------------------|

G |------------------------------|
D |------------------------------| play this.....
A |-3----5---5---5--3h--5----6---|
E |------------------------------|

(part B)
G |------------------------------------------------------|
D |------------------------------------------------------|
A |--3----5---5---5----3----5---5---5----3----5---5---5--|
E |------------------------------------------------------|

G |------------------------------|
D |------------------------------|
A |--3---5---5--5--5--5--3--3----| then this
E |------------------------------| a couple of times

i'm pretty sure that you have to alternate part A and B during 
the chorus sections

**************************************************************************
then end part when the drums go a little bit nutty:
G|-------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------|
A|--3----5---5---5------------------5----7---7---7-|
E|------------------3----5---5---5-----------------|

G |-------------------------------|
D |-------------------------------| play this
A |-----------------5-5--3-3------| a lot of times
E |-5----7---7---7----------------|

guitar parts
============
this part is the synth. part at the end of the song that I tried to 
arrange for guitar, I'm not sure if it is completely correct but it 
sounds close enough, well here it is:

E|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------15----------15----13----12----10----------15--|
G|---11---------11---------------------------12---11-----|
D|-------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------|

E |----------------------------------|
B |--------15---13---12---10---------|
G |----11---------------------12--(then go back to the beginning)
D |----------------------------------|
A |----------------------------------|
E |----------------------------------|

that is it.  the timing isn't there at all so work with it.
