These are the notes:

Main part:
Left hand chords: [GG] [GBbD] [CC] [EbGC] (Gmin and Cmin - hitting octaves of the roots then the chords)
Right hand melody: DEbBb DEbG DEbDBbDBbG DEbBb DEbG DEbDCCBb

Other part:
Left hand: [BbBb] FGD [EbEb] FGD
Right hand: DFGDFFGD - the melody above is also incorporated at the end.

Excellent play!!! Kraftwerk was a heavy influence on me growing up. They're genius in every sense of the word!!! "The Telephone Call" always gets my vote!!! Great performance and homage.
