Dancing Nancies is roughly as follows:
[G]could I have been [F#]anyone other than me...
[G]he[-] s[F#]tands touch his head shoes untied
tongue gaping stare could i have been
magnet for money
could i have been anyone other than me
twenty three i'm so tired of life
such a shame to throw it all away
the images grow darker still
could i have been anyone other than me
[A]look up at the [D]sky my mouth is open [A]wide
lick and taste what's the use in hurrying
what's the use in worrying
[D]turn turn we[F#] almost become [G]dizzy
(back to the G-F# pattern)
The last pattern in this song is
Bm - D - A - F#7sus4 (which looks like this)
-4------ -4------ -6------ -6------ -4------ -4------
[Bm]sing and dance i'll [D]play for you [A]tonight
the thrill of it[F#7sus4] all
[Bm]dark clouds may [D]hang over me som[A]etimes
but i'll work it[F#7sus4] out

Violin Tablature: Dancing Nancies
---------------------------------
transcribed by Jon Sung
I'm new at this tabbing thing, but I've been playing Dave for two years
now and I'm pretty sure I know what's what. I tend to make up a lot of
my own stuff, so I'm not going to bother with any of Boyd's solos. I
will let you know what key things are in, and throw in a few hints here
and there. Other than that, just loosen up and have fun with it!
I didn't tab this out to any time signature; I figure if you're good
enough to play Dave, you know what you're doing! Although where I feel
the tab could use some help, I threw in some + signs to mark the chord
changes (and I'll tell you what the changes are; I also play the guitar.
Hopefully you won't need my background to get the tab though!).
Verses: I usually don't play here; feels like there's enough going on already.
Chorus: "My eyes open wide" etc. This is pretty simple: D to A. +
signs are the chord changes from D to A. At the end, with "almost
become dizzy," go to Bb.
[+] [+] [+]
E-|-------------------------------------------------------------------- A-|--------0---(repeat)---------1---------------------------------- D-|--0-------------------------------------------------------------- G-|-------------------------------------------------------------------
Immediately after the chorus, Boyd's solos arrive. These are all in D
Major, and tend to start on a high B. Go nuts!
Bridge (?) "Sing and dance, la la la hey" etc: + signs mark changes from
Bm - D - A - C#m. This is in E:
+ + + + or + + + +
E-|--1--3--0--2---------------------------------------------------- A-|-----------------------1--3--0--2---(in D Major)-------------- D-|---------------------------------------------------------------- G-|-------------------------------------------------------------------
The "coming down" part after the madness at the end (just take a finger,
make 5ths on the A and E strings, and slide up and down like crazy) is
something approximate to this (it's different every time; nobody's
perfect!): (it's in D Major by the way)
E-|----------0--1--2--1---------0--1--2--3----------------------- A-|---2--3----------------2--3------------------------------- D-|---------------------------------------------------------------- G-|-------------------------------------------------------------------
