Hey folks,
this is my attempt to tab this great song by Dot Hacker
x for muted strings for those who don't already know.
Notes in brackets: means that I'm not sure, because I didn't really hear it or only
heard it a few times.
Strum as strong as possible without breaking the strings.^^
-Intro Riff:-x--x-----x--x-----x--x-----x--x--|-4--4-----3--3-----x--x-----x--x--|-3--3-----3--3----(5)(5)---(5)(5)-|-x--x-----x--x-----5--5-----5--5--|-3--3-----3--3-----3--3-----3--3--|-x--x-----x--x-----3--3-----3--3--|
ca. 0:23 ("why? why?...")
okay, that really sounds like synthesizer, but in live videos it is played by Guitar II
like this (I guess), Guitar I is still playing the first riff.

0:35 ("that's not the order in which..."):
Guitar I strumming muted strings in sixteenth notes
-Prechorus (followed by the two times intro riff)
Guitar II (while Guitar I plays the intro riff):------8-----8-------8---------------|-11------------11-------------------|--------9-------------9-------------|------------------------------------|------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
-Chorus (only chords, no strum patterns; Dot Hacker themselves strum this part rather at
random in their live videos...)

followed by the Intro Riff -> Chorus -> Prechorus riff/chords
-The next part's sound is really a mess; you can only define the bass line:
G-8----7----5--8----7----5--|D---------------------------|A---------------------------|E---------------------------|
-some noise and a drum fill follow.
-some noise with a C5 chord
-Chorus
-noisy riff in a 13/8 measure
okay, I'm getting really tired, as you can see. I've tabbed the most important parts, I guess.
This tab is more like a sketch and I don't think that it is 100% correct (I mean: the
parts I've written down^^). Try to improve it, so that one day we have a nearly perfect
version of this kick-ass song!
and excuse this German's humble English
