This is the crazy first track off of Botch's American Nervoso, and it's also my first
tab so go easy one me. I'm also not 100% percent certain this is correct, but I think it's
worth learning.
Tuning: Drop D
You Play this 4 times along with the drum intro thingy
E:----------------------------------------------------------------------|B:----------------------------------------------------------------------|G:-7--------------------------------------------------------------------|D:-6--0-0-0-------------------------------------------------------------|A:-5--0-0-0-------------------------------------------------------------|D:----0-0-0--2p0-1p0-2p0-1p0-2p0-1p0------------------------------------| pm.
Play this part when the lyrics 'We'll never see them again!' start
E:---------------------------------------------------------------------|B:---------------------------------------------------------------------|G:-7-------------------------------------------------------------------|D:-6--0-0-0------------------------------------------------------------|A:-5--0-0-0------------------------------------------------------------|D:----0-0-0--2p0-1p0-1p0-4p0-1p0-6p0-2p0-1p0---------------------------| pm.
Play this when the lyrics 'It's kinda pointless' starts
E:----------------------------------------------------------------|B:----------------------------------------------------------------|G:-7---------7----------------------------------------------------|D:-6--0-0-0--6--0-0-0---------------------------------------------|A:-5--0-0-0--5--0-0-0---------------------------------------------|D:----0-0-0-----0-0-0---------------------------------------------| pm. pm.
Then this
E:-----------------------------------------------------------------|B:--------------b11----------------b11-----------------------------|G:-7-7-7--------b14---7-7-7--------b14-----------------------------|D:-6-6-6--------------6-6-6----------------------------------------|A:-5-5-5--------------5-5-5----------------------------------------|D:--------0-0-0--------------0-0-0---------------------------------|
Repeat the previous parts once more the play this during the lyrics 'Oh she still erupts!'
E:----------------------------------------------------------------|B:-b11------------b11-----------b11------------b11----------------|G:-b14------------b14-----------b14------------b14----------------|D:----------------------------------------------------------------|A:----------------------------------------------------------------|D:------1-2-3-2-0-----1-2-3-2-0------1-2-3-2-0------1-2-3-2-1-----|
'It's hard to believe that something so quick is so thick'
E:-------------------------------------------------------------|B:-------------------------------------------------------------|G:-0--0--0--0--------------------------------------------------|D:-0--0--0--0--------------------------------------------------|A:-0--0--0--0--------------------------------------------------|D:-0--0--0--0--------------------------------------------------|
Then you turn your low D string down to A I think and just start chugging away like
this. Throw some harmonics in there too.
E:------------------------------------------------------------|B:------------------------------------------------------------|G:------------------------------------------------------------|D:------------------------------------------------------------|A:-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------------------------|A:-0-0-0-0-0-0-0----------------------------------------------|
Tune back up to D, and then 'It's so quiet in here.' Play this softly with some more
harmonics thrown in there
E:-------------------------------------------------------|B:-------------------------------------------------------|G:-------------------------------------------------------|D:-------------------------------------------------------|A:-------------------------------------------------------|D:-0-xxx-0-xxx-0-xxx-------------------------------------|
'The heat is my new friend!'
E:--------------------------------------------------------|B:--------------------------------------------------------|G:-7-7-7-7-7-7--8-8-8-8-8-8--9-9-9-9-9-9------------------|D:-6-6-6-6-6-6--7-7-7-7-7-7--8-8-8-8-8-8------------------|A:-5-5-5-5-5-5--6-6-6-6-6-6--7-7-7-7-7-7------------------|D:--------------------------------------------------------|
'My new friend'
E:--------------------------------------------------------|B:--------------------------------------------------------|G:-7-7-7-7--8-8-8-8--9-9-9-9-9-9--------------------------|D:-6-6-6-6--7-7-7-7--8-8-8-8-8-8--------------------------|A:-5-5-5-5--6-6-6-6--7-7-7-7-7-7--------------------------|D:--------------------------------------------------------|
Then go bat shit crazy playing this I think
E:--------------------------------------------------------|B:--------------------------------------------------------|G:-7------------------------------------------------------|D:-6------------------------------------------------------|A:-5------------------------------------------------------|D:----2p0-1p0-1p0-4p0-1p0-6p0-2p0-1p0---------------------|
Then the ending just strum this fast
E:--------------------------------------------------------|B:--------------------------------------------------------|G:-7-7-7-7-7----------------------------------------------|D:-6-6-6-6-6----------------------------------------------|A:-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------------------------|D:--------------------------------------------------------|
And that is my take on Botch's Hutton's Great Heat Engine. It's not perfect, but hey, I tried.
