The layout is a little bit confusing in the original file but it appears to be a compilation of the work of various tabbers among them Phil Coval and Mike Dare.- # Of course, this file is these authors' own work and represents their Interpretation of the song.

I've run through this version a couple of times and it seems to be quite close to the album version. The question marks in Riff-3 are from the original OLGA version and I haven't taken the time to confirm the accuracy of that section. For structure and complete lyrics please consult the album. While opening for David Bowie on the Outside.1 Tour in the USA, NIN did a fantastic duet version with Bowie and his guitarist, Reeves Gabrels. Gabrels incorporated a lilting, hypnotic guitar synthesizer riff as an intro that continued through the verse. If you can obtain a decent copy of one of the performances it is quite interesting and if you, or anyone you know should happen to know how to play the synth riff the TAB for that would make a nice addition to this TAB... Thanks again to the original posters of the OLGA version: Phil Coval and Mike Dare. Take it easy- -berserko-
