Wish off of Broken by nineinchnails
(someone requested some, so here's one)

Play this bit during the vocals:
("riff A")
-----------------------|-------------
-----------------------|----12-12-12-
-14/16\14-12---12---14-|-14----------
-----------------------|-------------
-----------------------|-------------
-----------------------|-------------

But I am the one usually screaming (err, singing), and
that lead line is a bit touch while screaming, so I usually
get my bassist to play it like so:
(Which actually I think sounds better)

-----------------------|--------------
-----------------------|----9--9--9---
-12/14\12-10---10--12--|-12-----------
-----------------------|--------------

So ya play that while you sing the verses.. so you sing
a line, then hit the chords, which are as follows:
(for this, strum up and down, slam all the chords, go
bonkers.. this is nin, the more noise the better)

("riff b")
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
-7-7-7-7-7-8-7--7-7-7-7-7-8-7------
-7-7-7-7-7-8-7--7-7-7-7-7-8-7------
-5-5-5-5-5-6-5--5-5-5-5-5-6-5------
-----------------------------------

So:

RiffA Riff B
This is the ...

Chorus is basically "riff b" plus 2 chords:

---- ---
-10- -5-
-10- -5-
-10- -5-
-8-- -3- Riff B
---- ---

Back to chorus, but throw in more "This world full of YOU!"

Then it's basically a jam time, with a distorted synth line,
and i'll tell ya, it's pretty easy if you have other people going
nuts with this behind you to go from the "riff b" to the synth
line, and make it sound nice and full. It's really easy.
For the line, I drop low E to a D so I can just use 1 finger.
You know the part, listen to the music:

(Ugh, time is slim, I'll just show the fret on the low-e (now a d),
and you understand, just press down all the strings there)

-5-3-5-6-5-3-0---5-3-5-6-5-3-0------

Have fun. It's a great song to let loose on.
