Tabs
Group: Nine Inch Nails
Song: Piggy
I have not seen this posted yet so I decided to post this little
ditty by NINE INCH NAILS from the Downward Spiral album. I figured
this song out some of the parts on an out-of-tune bass and some
other parts on an acoustic guitar, but I believe that it is all correct.
It sounds good anyway. well here it goes-----

verse:
G+G |---------------------------------------|
D MajorD |---------------------------------------| play this a couple times
A augmentedA |--3---5--------3---5-------7p--5-------|
E MajorE |--------5---3--------5---3-------------|
**************************************************************************
chorus:
(part A augmentedA)
G+G |------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD |------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA |--3----5---5---5----3----5---5---5----3----5---5---5--|
E MajorE |------------------------------------------------------|
G+G |------------------------------|
D MajorD |------------------------------| play this.....
A augmentedA |-3----5---5---5--3h--5----6---|
E MajorE |------------------------------|
(part BB)
G+G |------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD |------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA |--3----5---5---5----3----5---5---5----3----5---5---5--|
E MajorE |------------------------------------------------------|
G+G |------------------------------|
D MajorD |------------------------------|
A augmentedA |--3---5---5--5--5--5--3--3----| then this
E MajorE |------------------------------| a couple of times
i'm pretty sure that you have to alternate part A augmentedA and BB during
the chorus sections
**************************************************************************
then end part when the drums go a little bit nutty:
G+G|-------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|--3----5---5---5------------------5----7---7---7-|
E MajorE|------------------3----5---5---5-----------------|
G+G |-------------------------------|
D MajorD |-------------------------------| play this
A augmentedA |-----------------5-5--3-3------| a lot of times
E MajorE |-5----7---7---7----------------|

guitar parts
============
this part is the synth. part at the end of the song that I tried to
arrange for guitar, I'm not sure if it is completely correct but it
sounds close enough, well here it is:
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------15----------15----13----12----10----------15--|
G+G|---11---------11---------------------------12---11-----|
D MajorD|-------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE |----------------------------------|
BB |--------15---13---12---10---------|
G+G |----11---------------------12-----| (then go back to the beginning)
D MajorD |----------------------------------|
A augmentedA |----------------------------------|
E MajorE |----------------------------------|
that is it. the timing isn't there at all so work with it.
