1) Now I'm Nothing
(Guitar/Bass out)
I am gonna smash myself to pieces.
I am gonna fuck myself up.
I am sifting through the ashes
Of what I have become.

(Bass enters)
I gave myself a-way, now I'm nothing.

This is how I was showed to play the chorus part (Im a bassist).
It's very 'stringy'. Listen to see where Trent chokes/mutes the
strings. During the verse there are also choked/muted strings in the
background, but they're very faint.

This tab was done off the bootleg 'Purest Feeling'. The bass line for
the version i tabbed is the same as the one on PHM, but i like this beat
better. This is the main line repeated (almost) endlessly=
