the other version is extremely primative,
incomplete, and obsolete.)

Nine Inch Nails "The Day the World Went Away"
From "The Fragile" album
Tabbed by: The Apocalyzard

The Apocalyzard; beginning his quest to accurately tab as many Nine Inch Nails songs
as he possibly can.

I'm fairly certain that every song on the entire "The Fragile" album is tuned to
Drop-D. Around %70 sure, to be exact. There is no real way tell, but, most of the
time, it doesn't matter because the song can be played both ways. Now, I THINK this
song is in Drop-D, but there is a part that tells me otherwise. However, that part
can be being played by a separate guitar. The part in question is heavily distorted,
so I can't really tell. Ah, well. On with the tab.

So it's been about.. 4 years and I've been waiting for this tab to get transcribed by
better than myself, but to no avail.. so here is my version. Please send comments or
as you deem fit.

There's the bass part. The guitar part  is just X466XXX, X244XXX, 022XXX,
244XXX, and 577XXX in that order in time with the bass. Keep a light
distortion on it, and turn the mid and high down low. If you want to perfrom
this and you only have a guitar, a bass, and a drum set (shame on you for
trying to cover NIN with no keyboard and only one guitar) the bass will have
to play the part that harmonizes with the voices going nah nah na na..etc.
here is that part:
