"See What You Can Be" The Nazz From the album "Nazz" (1968) Transcribed by Brian Canfield This is a cool song. Does anyone know if a particular band influenced this song? Because no other Nazz song sounds like it. At any rate, it's not much of a guitar song..so pretty much all of my guitar tab (below) is just me "guessing" at particular voicings for the chords. On the other hand, it's a great bass song, as there's no loud guitar wailing to overpower it. I'm not much of a bass player, but I've tried to tab out certain distinct bass riffs in the song. But note that I haven't tabbed the bass for the whole song..just parts. That's also below. First, the straight chord names: Intro: D5add9 C5add9 (both much easier chords to play on the guitar, admittedly) D5add9 Let's talk about the things you wonder C5add9 Things that you're trying to hide D5add9 When words slip up, you drag them under, C5add9 making me stand outside Bm7 F#m But from all I can see, Bm7 Em7 G/A A you've become somewhat frightened of me A/B B B/C# C# But my thoughts run high of what we could be A A/D If we didn't stop to think E A of what could go wrong on our way there Am Bm C Am Bm C I want you to see what you can be Cm Dm Eb Cm Dm Eb F D5add9 C5add9 Want you to see what we can be if we try Here is a thing we can't skip over I think you should be around What one can do, can two do better, don't try to drag the thing down If I thought I could be something more than I thought I could be I would take off and fly if it were me I don't need to be reminded of the things I don't believe in Intro/Verse: Bass Riff: G------------------7--5--5--------------------------------------- D--------4--5--7------------------------------------------------- A----5----------------------------------------------------------- E---------------------------------------------------------------- E-------5----------------------3----------------------------------- B-------5----------------------3----------------------------------- G-------7----------------------5----------------------------------- D-------7----------------------5----------------------------------- A-------5----------------------3----------------------------------- E-------x----------------------x----------------------------------- D5add9 C5add9 Pre-Chorus: Bass: G-------------------------------------11--------------------------- D--------9--7------------------9--11-------------------------------- A--------------9p7h9---9---12--------------------------------------- E----7----------------------------------------------------------- E----7-------------9----------------------------------------------- B----7-------------10---------------------------------------------- G----7-------------11---------------------------------------------- D----9-------------11---------------------------------------------- A----9-------------9----------------------------------------------- E----7-------------x----------------------------------------------- Bm F#m G----------------------------------------------------------------- D-------9--7------------------------7----------------------------- A-------------10--9----7--7--9--10-------------------------------- E----7------------------------------------------------------------ E----7-----------------7---------------------------------------------- B----7-----------------8---------------------------------------------- G----7-----------------9---------------------------------------------- D----9-----------------9---------------------------------------------- A----9-----------------7---------------------------------------------- E----7-----------------x---------------------------------------------- Bm Em7 E------------------------------------------------------------------- B----3---------5---------2----------4-------4-------6--------------- G----4---------6---------2----------4-------4-------6--------------- D----5---------7---------2----------4-------4-------6--------------- A----0---------0---------2----------2-------4-------4--------------- E------------------------------------------------------------------- G/A A A/B B B/C# C# E------0------0------0------0---------------------------------------- B------2------2------0------2---------------------------------------- G------2------2------1------2---------------------------------------- D------2------0------2------2---------------------------------------- A------0-------------2------0--------------------------------------- E--------------------0-------------------------------------------- A A/D E A E----5----5---5---7----8----5----7----8------------------------------- B----5----5---5---7----8----5----7----8------------------------------- G----5----5---5---7----9----5----7----9------------------------------- D----7----7---7---9----10---7----9---10------------------------------- A----7----7---7---9----10---7----9---10------------------------------- E----5----5---5---7----8----5----7----8------------------------------- Want you to see what you can be..

Listen to it, and you'll see.. And it's actually the keyboard playing those chords; I've just tried to arrange that for guitar. That's it for now. Perhaps a bit half-hearted, but better than nothing as usual. dontpoll@aol.com
