Nine - Inch-Nails - Burn guitar tab
Tuning DADGBE
~~~~~- hold note
^r- bend full and release
- slide up/down
During the verses, there is a low synth that goes along with the bass
drums. If you want to play along with that as well, just use a D5 chord,
shaped like 00xxxx.
After "Sometimes I think I could... burn" the bass plays this, but it
sounds just as good on guitar:
E --------------------------
B --------------------------
G --------------------------
D --------------------------
A --~~~~~--------3---~~-----
D -0------6--5------3-------
After "I'm gonna burn this whole world down":
E -------------------------------------------------------
B -------------------------------------------------------
G --5/7-7--5/7--5/7-7--5/7--5/7-7-5/7------10------12----
D --5/7-7--5/7--5/7-7--5/7--5/7-7-5/7------10------12----
A --3/5-5--3/5--3/5-5--3/5--3/5-5-3/5--0-0-8---0-0-10----
D -------------------------------------------------------
A second guitar (Robin Finck, when done live) plays this underneath it:
E -------------------------------------------------------------------
B -------------------------------------------------------------------
G -------------------------------------------------------------------
D -------------------------------------------------------------------
A --9~~~~~~~~--9^r-\-3~~~~~--9~~~~~~~~-9^r-\3~~-3~~~~~~~~-/-15-------
D -------------------------------------------------------------------
There's been a lot of disputes about the lyrics, here's what I can make out
best listening to both the recording and seeing it live. All but that one
line are, in my opinion, correct.
This world rejects me
This world threw me away
This world never gave me a chance
This world gonna have to pay
Well I don't believe in no institutions
I did what you wanted me to
I'm like the cancer in your system
I've got a little surprise for you
Something inside of me has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
Burn
I look down at where you're standing
Flock of sheep are on display
Saw your lives burned up around you
I can take it all away
Something inside of me has opened up its eyes
Why did you put it there? Did you not realize
This thing inside of me it screams the loudest sound
Sometimes I think I could
I'M GONNA BURN THIS WHOLE WORLD DOWN
I never was a part of you (burn)
I never was a part of you (burn)
I am the ....
I am corruption
I am the angel of your destruction
I am perversion
Secret desire
I am your future
Swallowed up in fire
