Hello there.
I loved the song so I attempted to tab it. There are some mistakes I guees, mostly in
chorus so if you have any idea, suggest a correction plz.
Originally it's played 1 step down, but you can play it in the standard tuning too.
Intro:
D
I'll tattle a tale that is terribly true.
C Am
Stated out as a rumor, but suddenly grew.
D
And it deals with a man, and a horse, and a ring.
C Am G
So settle on in and our song we shall sing.
Pre-verse:
G (x3) F
D (x4)
Verse1:
D
It happened one day in a ring by a farm
C Am
Some that tragically brought us much harm
D
How could a place abundant with charm
C Am D
Create such a beast with a spear for an arm.
D
On death and destruction is what you will get
C Am
When he's coming for you and in your kilt you will wet.
D
And he's big and he's strong and its quite plain to see.
C Am D
That this is the Tale of the Nuckelavee.
Chorus:
A
Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee
Em G Em G
You're big and evil and heinous
A
Who could it be who set you free?
Em G Em D
He really must be an anus.
Verse2:
D
Oh Nuckelavee it's easy to see
C Am
the terror you leave is raining on me.
D
The village is burned and the taverns are missed
C Am D
and the beer is all gone and the elders are pissed.
D
And if they ever should find the fool
C Am
We'll hang him upside down by his tool
D
And spin him around until he gets sick
C C D
Ooh! Aah! Oh, that should do the trick.
Chorus:
A
Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee
Em G Em G
The terror you offer is high class
A
Who could it be who set you free?
Em G Em G
He really must be a dumbass.
A
Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee
Em G Em G
The horror you furnish is widespread
A
Who could it be who set you free?
Em G Em D
He really must be an ox-head.
Solo:
G (x2) F (x2)
G (x2) F (x1) G (x1)
A (x2) G/D (x2)
Verse3:
D
Now everyone knows no blood should spill
C Am
In the sacred ring by the farm on the hill.
D
And if this ever happens the Death you should fear
C Am D
He'll kick in your nuts and he'll serve them with beer.
D
So one final thought before I depart,
C Am
And this my friends comes straight from the heart.
D
We'd all be fine if not for that bell
C Am D
And that horse killing wanker that opened up hell.
Chorus:
A
Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee
Em G Em G
We cannot win we must admit
A
Who could it be who set you free?
G Em G Em
He really must be a dimwit.
A
Nuckelavee! Oh Nuckelavee
Em G Em G
You're big and evil and heinous
A
Who could it be who set you free?
Em G Em D
He really must be an anus
