Artist: OverKill Song: I Hate Album: The Years Of Decay Transcribed by Kevin 'Agonymph' Pasman Tuning: DGCF (1 step down) Our own Neckwrecker suggested me to transcribe this song and I thought that was a good idea. I guess it's one of her favorites and it seems to be a quite popular OverKill song anyway. 'I Hate' sounds like a really easy tune to play for guitars too, so the bass parts can't be that hard either. It starts out like this: Riff A: F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| C|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| G|3---------------|1---------------|----------------|1---------------| D|----------------|----------------|4---------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |3---------------|6---------------|3---------------|6---------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| Riff B: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |4-4-4-3---3-3---|3-3-3---3-3-3---|4-4-4-3---3-3---|3-3-3---3-3-3---| 2x |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |4-4-4-3---3-3---|3-3-3---3-3-3---|4-4-4-3---1-----|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |4-4-4-3---3-3---|3-3-3---3-3-3---|4-4-4-3---1-----|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |4-4-4-3---3-3---|3-3-3---3-3-3---|4-4-4-3---3-3---|3-3-3---3-3-3---|| (1st verse) Got so much trouble Hate this job Tried to get out Trapped like a dog No I don't like Pumping gas Do you hate to wait Life's a game Play your rules Is the bottle half empty Or the bottle half full It does no good No good to shout But I scream I hate Say I'm hostile Gotta relax Better get a grip Here's the facts I hate being here Riff C: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-| |3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-|----------------|3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-|----------------| |----------------|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|3-----3-----3---|--3-----3---3---| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-| |3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-|----------------|3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-|----------------| |----------------|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|| |3-3-3-3-3-3-1-1-|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|3---4---3-------|| (Chorus) I hate people that make you feel small I hate having my back against the wall You know I hate being talked down too I hate your rules, I hate them all Hate being marked to take the fall The planet's not big enough for me and you... Then repeat Riff B and Riff C (2nd verse) Got trouble over me Surrounded by jerks Can't you see Smile to my face I know you lie Knife in the back Another game Rules, rules, rules Not for me You fucking fool Open your mouth Just one more time And my foot's going down In one ear Out the other A waste of time Don't even bother I hate being here (Chorus) I hate people that make you feel small I hate having my back against the wall I hate being talked down too I hate your rules, I hate them all Hate being marked to take the fall The planet's not big enough for me and you But most of all I hate you Riff D: 2x |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |1-----------1---|--------1-------|----------------|----------------|| |------1---------|--1---------1---|3---3-3-3-3-3-3-|3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |1-----------1---|--------1-------|----------------|----------------|| |------1---------|--1---------1---|------6-----3---|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|4---------------|----------------|| (Bridge) You, I hate you You, I hate you I hate, I hate, I hate, I hate you Underneath Bobby Gustafson's solo (or Dave Linsk's if you listen to 'Wrecking Everything'), Riff B is played once, after that, the Chorus is repeated (so Riff C is played once), Riff A is played once with a slight alteration; the first C# (G-string, 6th fret) is replaced by an F# (lowest string, 4th fret), the 2nd C# remains a C# though, then the third verse is played (so Riff B is played once) and the Chorus is played twice (so Riff C is played twice). (Chorus) I hate people that make you feel small I hate having my back against the wall You know I hate being talked down too I hate your rules, I hate them all Hate being marked to take the fall The planet's not big enough for me and you But most of all I hate you (3rd verse) Think I know How you got this far Think I know How you got where you are I think I'll hate you when you're dead I know I'll hate you Smile to my face Know you lie Say you've got problems Ask yourself why Hate the games I hate the rules You're gonna lose Say I'm hostile Gotta relax Better get a grip Here's the fact Not much more of you (Chorus) I hate people that make you feel small I hate having my back against the wall You know I hate being talked down too I hate your rules, I hate them all Hate being marked to take the fall The planet's not big enough for me and you But most of all I hate you I hate people that make you feel small (I hate you) I hate having my back against the wall (I hate you) I hate being talked down too (I hate you) I hate your rules, every one (I hate you) They keep telling me I'm number one (I hate you) I hate being but back to number two (I hate you) But most of all I hate you The song ends like this: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |3---4---3-------|--------3---4---|3---------------|3---4---3-------| I hate you and I hate you and I hate you |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |--------3---4---|3-----2-----3---|------------3---|3-------3---3---|| I hate This is probably the song with the least amount of riffs I've transcribed so far. And the riffs are quite easy to play too. So is the structure of the song; there are almost no comments between the riffs here! I expect every OverKill-fan with a bass plays 'I Hate' in a couple of weeks :) Thanx for somethin', Neckwrecker!
