Guitar III Plays the same notes only an Octave higher (I think :P) i.e. he plays 15 12

instead of 3 0 0, and 15 12 18 18 18 instead of 3 0 6 6 6 (You might also want to use a

or something, to get the right sound for the Keyboard part)

Zwischen harten Eichendielen

wird es mit der Spieluhr spielen

eine Melodie im Wind

und aus der Erde singt das Kind

mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter nur der Regen weint am Grab

And the song ends with Guitar III playing the Intro again twice

Hope this tab helps. I enjoyed making it, to some extent :P And I’m happy to be the

person to tab the keyboard parts for this song! Please comment and rate, and feel free to

any corrections that you can make

Lyrics: Translation taken from www.herzeleid.com/en/lyrics/mutter#spieluhr

Ein kleiner Mensch stirbt nur zum Schein

wollte ganz alleine sein

das kleine Herz stand still für Stunden

so hat man es für tot befunden

es wird verscharrt in nassem Sand

mit einer Spieluhr in der Hand

Der erste Schnee das Grab bedeckt

hat ganz sanft das Kind geweckt

in einer kalten Winternacht

ist das kleine Herz erwacht

Als der Frost ins Kind geflogen

hat es die Spieluhr aufgezogen

eine Melodie im Wind

und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Hoppe hoppe Reiter

und kein Engel steigt herab

mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter

nur der Regen weint am Grab

hoppe hoppe Reiter

eine Melodie im Wind

mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter

und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Der kalte Mond in voller Pracht

hört die Schreie in der Nacht

und kein Engel steigt herab

nur der Regen weint am Grab

Zwischen harten Eichendielen

wird es mit der Spieluhr spielen

eine Melodie im Wind

und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Hoppe hoppe Reiter

und kein Engel steigt herab

mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter

nur der Regen weint am Grab

hoppe hoppe Reiter

eine Melodie im Wind

mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter

und aus der Erde singt das Kind

Hoppe hoppe Reiter

mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter

Am Totensonntag hörten sie

aus Gottes Acker diese Melodie

da haben sie es ausgebettet

das kleine Herz im Kind gerettet

Hoppe hoppe Reiter

eine Melodie im Wind

mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter

und auf der Erde singt das Kind

hoppe hoppe Reiter

und kein Engel steigt herab

mein Herz schlägt nicht mehr weiter

nur der Regen weint am Grab

A small human only pretends to die

it wanted to be completely alone

the small heart stood still for hours

so they decided it was dead

it is being buried in wet sand *

with a music box in its hand

The first snow covers the grave

it woke the child very softly

in a cold winter night

the small heart is awakened

As the frost flew into the child

it wound up the music box

a melody in the wind

and the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider **

and no angel climbs down

my heart does not beat anymore

only the rain cries on the grave

up and down, rider

a melody in the wind

my heart does not beat anymore

and the child sings from the ground

The cold moon, in full magnificence

it hears the cries in the night

and no angel climbs down

only the rain cries on the grave

Between hard oak boards

it will play with the music box

a melody in the wind

and the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider

and no angel climbs down

my heart does not beat anymore

only the rain cries on the grave

up and down, rider

a melody in the wind

my heart does not beat anymore

and the child sings from the ground

Up and down, rider

my heart does not beat anymore

On Totensonntag they heard ***

this melody from god's field ****

then they unearthed it

they saved the small heart in the child

Up and down, rider

a melody in the wind

my heart does not beat anymore

and the child sings on the ground

up and down, rider

and no angel climbs down

my heart does not beat anymore

only the rain cries on the grave
