please keep in mind that this is not an attempt to play exactly as Nine Inch Nails on 
the record but somewhere around it to make it recognizable and sound good on acoustic 
guitars. I think there's at best 7 acoustic yamaha guitar playing along... I left a 
small (read: really small) note about how to play this song on 1 guitar also. And please
don't be mad if I play it a little different of how you usually play it.


please send any suggestion/comments/thanks/FU:s or anything else you want to say to:

D|-17--15-----15--14----13--12----8-8-7-10----------|
A|--------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------8---------|

that's it

there isn't any hard parts in this version


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


if you want to play it with one single guitar try a DADGCD tuning and play the song from D
the chords are:
verse:
D5 and C5 (with variations)
chorus:
G5 C5 C#5

the outro with that tuning is nice:

strum all strings and take these notes
D|--------------------------------------------------|
C|--------------------------------------------------|
G|-14--12----12--11----10--9------5-5-4-7-7---------|
D|-14--12----12--12----10--10-----5-5-5-5-----------|
A|----------------------------------------5---------|
D|--------------------------------------------------|

make sure to get all the open strings all the time, and I like play the song in a lot more majorish key than normal. I'm not sure how it's for real but this sound good imo.

hope you made it this far

good luck!
