Can't find any tabs for this great song anywhere, so I made one myself. This is my first tab, any (constructive) criticism is encouraged. This song has two distinct musical sections: In the first section, the eponymous 'nom's go like this: G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|5-5-5-0-5-7-5---|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|5-5-5-0-5-7-5-0-|3-3-3---3-5-3---|5-5-5-0-5-7-5---| E|----------------|----------------|------3---------|----------------| In the second (middle) section, they assume the simpler: G|0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-|--------------------|0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-|--------------------| D|--------------------|0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-|--------------------|0-0-12-12-0-0-12-12-| A|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| E|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------|--------------------| Humblest apologies if that bit was incorrect, I wasn't too sure on that. Throughout the first section (coming in four bars before the bass), there appears to be an arpeggio on a piano or similar keyed instrument, it goes like this (be aware it's almost certainly several octaves higher than a bass, I've just put it in tablature form for ease of reading): G|--4-7-4---4-7-4-|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|5-------5-------|--4-7-4---4-7-4-|--2-5-2---2-5-2-|--4-7-4---4-7-4-| A|----------------|5-------5-------|3-------3-------|5-------5-------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| ===BASS=== The actual bassline to the song is rather simple, apart from the odd twiddly bit in the middle section. When the bass comes in (at around 14 seconds), it does a pleasing: G|----------------| D|------------17\5| A|----------------| E|----------------| And begins with: G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|5-5-5-5-5-5-4-2-|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5-|3-3-3-3-3-3-5-3-|5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5-| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| This repeats but once, at which point we encounter the middle section. The first four bars of the middle section do this: G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|5---------------|----------------|5---------------|----------------| A|----------------|5---------------|----------------|5---------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| Let each of these notes ring for the whole bar. The next four become a little more ambitious: G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|5-5-5-5-7-5-4-2-|--------2-4-2---|5-5-5-5-7-5-4-2-|--------2-4-2---| A|----------------|5-5-5-5-------5-|----------------|5-5-5-5-------5-| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| After this, we begin our final section with bass in, it goes like this: G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| D|5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|----------------|----------------|----------------| A|----------------|5-5-5-5-5-5-7-5-|3-3-3-3-3-3-5-3-|5-5-5-5-5-0-5-7-| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| This repeats twice, and the bass part finishes with a nice staccato: G|----------------| D|5---------------| A|----------------| E|----------------| That's all there is to the bass part, I hope you enjoy playing this song as much as I do! Note to guitarists: I believe the guitar part isn't much different, power chords maybe. If someone wishes to tab this for guitar, using mine as reference, feel free. All I ask is that you credit me if you did use mine.
