Nine Inch Nails - The Day the World Went Away - from The Fragile (1998)
Guitar Tablature Transcribed by Undertow_45
Very simple song, don`t ask me the FX for it cause I don`t know
but there is probably a lot of distortion. Two or three guitars
one acoustic (for a better sound) and a bass. I am normally a bass
player but this song is too easy to transcribe just for bass. Enjoy.
Main Riff (2/3 Guitars) Repeat 4x
g |----6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-------------------------------4----|
d |----6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4----|
a |----4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2----|
e |------------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------|
Whiny Part (1 Guitar) Come in after Main Riff repeats Twice-Repeat 2x
g |----9--6--8--4--9--6--8--4--9--6--8--4--9--6--8--4|
Very simple. After that is done everything shuts up except for the
bass (and Keyboards) and plays the Quiet Part.
Quiet Part (Bass) Repeat 4x
a |----4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------------------2----|
e |------------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-----|
Acoustic Guitar Part Come in after Quiet Part repeats Twice-Repeat 8x
g |----6-9-9-10-[10]-11-11----|
d |----6-9-9-10-[10]-11-11----|
a |----4-7-7-8---[8]--9--9----|
On occasion, don`t play notes in the brackets, but if you`ve heard
the song you`ll know what to do. And if your lazy, just play the A
line of notes. It does not matter.
Finally, there is the end. Basically, 1/2 guitars and the acoustic
play the Main Riff, while 1/2 guitars play the Nah-Nah Part. The
Bass can play either part, it sounds fine both ways.
Nah-Nah Part (+Main Riff) Repeat 8x
d |---------9-8-99-8-------|
a |----9-7-----------11----|
The End.
