"Hang on Paul" The Nazz From the album Nazz Nazz (1969) Transcribed by Brian Canfield Here's another guitar driven song that I'm not going to be able to give much justice to with my tab. But I will, at least, try to lay out the basic riffs in the song, even though they may not be very accurate. Before the song really starts, there's a bluesey riff, something like this: E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---12p10-------------------------------------------------------- G---------12s14-----12------------------------------------------- D---------------14----------------------------------------------- A---------------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- Verse: Here's my shot at the "Day Tripper"-like riff in the verse. E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D--------------6--4--3--4--6------6--4--3--4--6------------------ A------3---6----------------------------------------------------- E---4--------------------------4--------------------------------- Ab7 "Someone's gonna tell you.." Chorus: E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D-----------3--3--4--4--5--5--6--6--5--5--4--4--3--3------------- (x2) A-----4--4------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- Db Ab "It's something in your arrogant line.." E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A----------3--3--4--4--5--5--6------------------------------------ E----6--6--------------------------------------------------------- Bb "You're gonna blow up here.." Break: (This part comes in right before the bridge) E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- x2 A------------2---4-----4----2------------------------------------ E----4---4----------------------4-------------------------------- Ab Db Ab "Hang in, hang out, hang in.." ^These are the notes being played, but listen to the song to get an idea for the timing. Bridge: E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G----------------7--7--6--------------------6--6--5-------------- D---------6--9-------------9----------5--8----------------------- A---7--7------------------------6--6----------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- E7 Eb7 "Paul, you're having a ball.." E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G---------------4--4--3------------------------------------------ D---------3--6----------6---------------------------------------- A---4--4---------------------------------3--3--4--4--5--5-------- E----------------------------------4--4-------------------------- Db7 Ab "It's your way of life.." E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G----------------7--7--6----------------------------------------- D---------6--9-------------9------------------7--7--6------------ A---7--7--------------------------------6--9----------9---------- E--------------------------------7--7---------------------------- E7 B7 "It's so strangely easy to see.." E---------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------------------------- D---------------------------------------------------------------- A------------------------5--6------------------------------------ E---6--6--6--6--6--6--6------------------------------------------ Bb Eb "But you're laughing so hard.." Then, back to the main verse riff. The bridge part repeats later, and Todd plays a wickedly fast guitar solo over it. I'm not even gonna try to figure it out.
