SONG TITLE: Wish
ARTIST/GROUP: Nine Inch Nails
ALBUM: Broken
TRANSCRIBED BY: qualitytabs@qualitytabs.tk
**********************************************************************
CHORDS: [Drop-D tuning]
-------
DADGBE
D5 (057xxx)
F5 (x-8-10-10-x-x)
C5 (x355xx)
G5 (55xxxx)
G#5 (66xxxx)
If you don't know what Drop-D tuning is, it means drop your low
E string down two notes to D. Just tune it down until it sounds
exactly like your D string, only an octave lower. You must use
Drop-D for this song to sound right.
I just started listening to Nine Inch Nails after I heard
the new song, We're in this together. This is an old song though
but a really good one. There were a few tabs for this at OLGA
but they all seemed completely wrong to me. Maybe I'm wrong and
they're right, who knows? Anyway, here's what I think the song
should sound like.
There's basically just one riff and two chords in this song and
then some variations near the end. I'll tab out the riff and
all that you need, but some of the stuff near the end is kind
of hard to hear.
MAIN-RIFF:
----------
D5
E|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------------------|
D|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--8--7--12---7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--8--7---|
A|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--6--5--10---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--6--5---|
D|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0--0----0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0---|
When you play this riff you need to strum up and down REAL FAST!
Listen to it to hear what I mean. It's not hard though.
With the verses, basically he shouts one line, then plays
the main riff once, then shouts the next line and then
plays the riff again.
VERSE 1:
--------
[MAIN RIFF]
This is the first day, of my last days.
Build it up, now take it apart, [MAIN RIFF]
climbed up real high, now fall down real far!
[MAIN RIFF]
No need for me to stay, last thing left, I just threw it away!
My faith in god, or my trust in you, [MAIN RIFF] [MAIN RIFF]
now there's nothing more fucked up I can do!
CHORUS: [just strum each chord once]
-------
F5 C5 [MAIN RIFF]
Wish there was something real, wish there was something true!
F5 C5 [MAIN RIFF]
Wish there was something real, in this world full of you!
[The second line in the chorus, play it like this:]
F5 C5
E|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
G|---10------------5-----------|
D|---10------------5-----------|
A|---8-------------3-----5--6--| ...and then play MAIN RIFF.
D|-----------------------5--6--|
VERSE 2: [Play like verse 1]
--------
Now I'm the one without a soul,
I'm the one with this big fucking hole!
No new tale to tell, 26 years, on my way to hell!
Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck!
Well don't think you're having all the fun,
you know me, I hate everyone!
CHORUS: [Play like first chorus]
-------
Wish there was something real, wish there was something true
Wish there was something real, in this world full of you.
INTERLUDE:
----------
This is just bass and some synth bullshit.
But what the bass is playing is this:
[bass arranged for guitar:]
E|----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------|
A|----------------------------------------|
D|--12---------10--------6---------3------|
Play that four times. If you're playing in a band
and you don't have any synths you could let the bass
play this and you strum out the appropriate power chords.
Next play MAIN RIFF 4 times.
Then play CHORUS twice.
Then play the MAIN-RIFF a few times
while shouting 'There's room for you'.
Then the outro tab goes
something like this:
E|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|---------------------x-x-x-x-x-x--|
D|--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--x-x-x-x-x-x--|
A|--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--x-x-x-x-x-x--|
D|----------------------------------|
|
play this 3 times, then this once.
|
E|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|--7---5-----------|
A|--5---3---6---3---|
D|----------6---3---|
Repeat that whole tab a few times.
I got this song as a mp3 file and the last few seconds are
missing but I'm pretty sure you just repeat some of the above.
Just listen to the song to hear it. This should be enough so
you can play it decently.
