Nine Inch Nails - Survivalism
Album: Year Zero
After i found the guitar tab, i realized there wasn't a bass tab so i thought i would
it a try.
There are alot of things going on in this song that might confuse some people for the bassline.
Well this is my first tab and i tried my best so here it is.
Please Rate. thanks!
The H is a hammer on...

Outro: (Beggining Immediately after Chorus)
If you listen closely, the bass plays the single "A note riff" 8 times until about
halfway through the guitar riff, then switches it up, adding the G and C
There are actually two ending riffs for the bass

And that is Survivalism. Can't wait for April 17th to roll around, if you know what i mean.
In the 2nd verse, i dont know if you want to add the "C" but i think it sounds cool, a
more active.
Plus there are alot of synth lines that may be playing that riff but it sounds good on bass.
