From; Myguitartabs.com Nancy Boy --------- by Placebo Tabbed by Ben Coley This song is a very popular Placebo song, and is different because of the main rhythm being played on the Toms. Here goes... Guitar intro HH |-o---o---o------------| CC |-----------------x---x| SD |-------------o--------| <-intro - the crashes are the down beat for the BD |-----------o---o-o---o| verse... MT |---------------o-------------------------------o-----------------------| SD |-o-------------------------------o-------------------------------o-----| FT |-o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o-| BD |-----------------o-----------o-------------------o-----------o---------| Do this, and on the 4th snare beat, do: |---|=down beats of next verse bit... CC |-----------------x---x-| SD |-o---o-o-o-o-o-o-------| BD |-----------------o---o-| Then keep doing this until Brian sings the line "What a gas, what a beautiful ass." About when he says "beautiful", do a kit roll: CC |-----------------------x-|<-chorus down-beat SD |-o-----------------------| ST |-----o--o----------------| The more you listen to it, the more you will MT |-----------o--o----------| get the timing. Thesnare at the start of the FT |-----------------o--o----| fill is the end of the verse part... BD |-----------------------o-| If you get the timing right, this fill sounds really good. The chorus then goes: |---down beat from fill CC |-x-------------------------| This sounds good if the Hi-hat is choked HH |-----x---x---x---x---x---x-| and do a snare fill every four snare beats. SD |---------o---------------o-| Also, try extra crashes on some snare beats. BD |-o-----o-------o-o-----o---| It sounds good!! The snare fill is the same as the other verse one... Bridge: |-down beat CC |-x-------------------------| This is the basic bridge. There is also a MT |---------o-----------o-----| rhythm part that I have'nt tabbed. After SD |-----o-----------o---------| the bridge, do the same two crashes into FT |-------------o-----------o-| the verse again. If you listen to it lots, BD |-o-----o---o---o---o---o---| then you'll soon get it. The better you get at playing this, the better you can make it sound. Then, you can try your own veriations. I play this in two bands, and it sounds great!!
