Nice tab of a nice song.. Good work

How bout before you insult someone, you make sure if they are right or not, and Nybb was right. Just because Cash came before NIN doesn't mean he couldnt have covered in his old age you prick. I heard NIN do it obviously and decided to do it himself. He covered it not too long before he died.

Emeraldlace, it's all a matter of context. Cash's version is much more meaningful as a single, but the way Trent Reznor released the original song was, to me at least, more meaningful than Cash could've ever made his version. I say this because the album "The Downward Spiral" was not only Reznor's masterpiece, but it was also a story from front to back, with "Hurt" as the concluding song to the manic-depressive and powerful story. I thought I'd post the lyrics to "Hurt" on here as well... it'd be great if all the comment sections had them :D I hurt myself today to see if I still feel I focus on the pain the only thing that's real the needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but I remember everything what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns ("crown of shit" in NIN version) upon my liar's chair full of broken thoughts I cannot repair beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear you are someone else I am still right here what have I become? my sweetest friend everyone I know goes away in the end and you could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt if I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way
