 tanscribed by John Vettese (spex49d@prodigy.com)
 as recorded on NIN's album The Downward Spiral
 
 -There is alot more going on in this song than what I have transcribed.
 Most of it is synth, but I know that alot of the synth is changed to
 guitar when Trent preforms it with his live band so I transcribed it for
 guitar and bass. To have it sound exactly like it does on the album,
 you'd
 need 4 guitars (all with effects processers), two drum sets, and a bass.
 I'm assuming that you have one or maybe two guitars (and if you're in a
 
 band, a bass) so that's all I transcribed it for. Also I'm just posting
 the main riffs. You can figure out how many times to play them.
