Drop D tuning (for the Bass part at leaste)
The song is somewhere in the key of like c/g/f, that whole thing, (only a semi-tone
either way)
This is the way I'm pretty sure they play it live. I have the Beside You In Time DVD and
tried my best to watch their hands, and for the other stuff, like the piano part,
I just guess by ear. The solo that Aaron (NIN 2005-present live lead guitar) is less
than the one on the album, though the one on the album is of course a bit sicker. I
try to tab that one too, but for now this is the one I mainly know. Aaron uses one of
crazy lazer thingies that makes really long sustain like what Coldplay uses, but you can
similar affects with really high gain and a stead hand.
Notation
/ = slide
p = pull off
^ = bend
* = bend slightly then mute with your pick/finger almost directly afterwards, almost as
the sound is being canceled (it's the most chararceteristic/ recognizable expression of
note in the song)
(Main bass line throughout song)
! = vibrato
~ = sustain

Guitar riff 2
(The bridge is Piano chords, but these guitar chords seem to fit well. I might be wrong
the exact timing of the chords because i'm doing this by memory and I can't listen to
song right now, but if you listen to it, you'll know when to hit and sustain the chords.)
I cannot go through this again...

Then comes the crazy swelling of noise and sounds as the climax, the main part of which is...

End song
Ahhh one of the longest tabs I've ever done but I had to get that off my chest, cause I
it out by ear and I sure was mighty proud o' myself, proud as Huck or Tom e'er would be!
hope you like it! And I hope I didn't mess up too much, I might have some errors in the
cause I might not have it quite note for note, but I'll check when I go home and
it if I can remember to.
