Piggy

Nine Inch Nails
Bass Tab
★4.9(12)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

play 14 times

(optional guitar riff)

you can work this riff in towards the end of the song, maybe on the bass's tenth time

through the second chourus, but make sure that you don't end while this riff is still

going.

KEYBOARD

keyboard ridd

note values

T = Triplet

R = Rest

W = Whole Note

H = Half Note

Q = Quarter Note

E = 8th Note

S = 16th Note

the first number represents in what octave to play in,

the second letter represents the note

and the third letter represents how many counts each note gets

4BW-5AH-5GQ-5FQ-5GQ-5FbQ-5EE-5DbE

play this 6 times towards the end of the song, and then the keyboard will be the only

instrument playing at the end, and it will play 2 more times through alone.
