Je score:
Song: Nite Club Band: The Specials Album: The Specials/ The Singles Collection tabbed by: Adam Marish Hey, I've seen various tabs of this song. Some of them are fairly close but some of them are pretty off. I'm in a Ska band myself and we cover this song...so I think I'll try to tab it out the right way... Intro (you can mess around with it if you want) G:-------------------------------------------------| D:-------------------------------------------------| A:------------5---55---76-----------5--567-567-567-| E:-5---55--57-------------5--55--57----------------| Then when the Terry goes "Spending Money...On!" play: G:------------------ D:------------------ * Keep in mind that this is played A:----5-----6------- after every chorus E:-77---7----------- Verse (now the fun starts!) note, there is no bass during the first verse when Terry is singing... G:--------------------------|-----------7-7-----| D:--------------------------|-------------------| A:-7----------7-----5---5---|-7---------------5-| E:---0-0--5-7-----7---7---7-|----0-0--------7---| *** (^) signifies a slide (7th to 10th fret) *** G:--------------------------|---------------12---11---7---8- D:--------------------------|------------------------------- A:-7----------7-----5---5---|-7--------7^10----9----5---6--- E:---0-0--5-7-----7---7---7-|----0-0------------------------ Little fill before the first chorus G:------------------- D:-----4---5---6----- A:------------------- E:-0-2---3---4------- Chorus G:---------------------------|----------------------------- D:-77--------7------44-55-77-|-77--------7----------------- A:----9--7-9----5-5----------|----9--7-9----5-5--33-22-00-- E:---------------------------|----------------------------- *Play first segment again followed by the "Spending Money...On!" riff Bass Solo segment 1 segment 2 G:-------------------------|--------7-77-7-777-| D:-------------------------|-------------------| A:-7----------7----5---5---|-7-----------------| E:---0-0--5-7----7---7---7-|----0-0------------| segment 3 (slide!) segment 4 (notice the slide) G:---------12^13--12-13--|--------------------------| D:---------11-12--11-12--|-------------5----6-------| A:-7---------------------|-7--------4^6-6--7-75-----| E:----0-0----------------|----0-0-------------------| segment 5 G:---7---8---9---10---11---10---9---8-- D:------------------------------------- A:-5---6---7---8----9----8----7---6---- E:------------------------------------- Bass Solo segment order: 1,2,1,3,1,4,1,5 * Segment 3 is using chords (Hit 2 notes at one time.) Then the third verse starts...there's no bass at first...but when Terry screams "and the beer tasters just like piss!", he uses this fill to get back into his bassline... G:----12---11---7---8---- D:----------------------- A:-10----9----5---6------ E:----------------------- Outro G:-------------- D:-------------- A:----5---6--7-- E:-77---7------- Well I hope you agree that if this is not perfect, that it's pretty close. Enjoy...and don't forget the slides because they're vital. Adam, sir_adam_gentleman@yahoo.com The Royal Noise Brigade (My Ska Band!) www.come.to/royalnoisebrigade
