• Song:

    Huttons Great Heat Engine

  • Artist:

    Botch

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.
