# # Date: Thu, 14 Nov 1996 15:28:26 -0500 From: Andrew Rogers Subject: ./m/music_machine/talk_talk.crd This alienated rant was a #15 hit for the Music Machine in early 1967. My bar band covered it as late as 1975, with me snarling the lead vocal, whacking on a tambourine, and playing both organ and the detuned low-E guitar riff at various points in the song. --AWR "Talk Talk" (Sean Bonniwell) [Note: the rhythm guitar is tuned down a minor third; the key riff of the verses is played F#-E but sounds Eb-Db.] Intro: Eb Ab Db / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Eb5 F5 Gb5 F5 / / / / / / / / (2x) [fuzz bass: Gb Db] Verse 1: Eb Db Eb Db I got me a complication Eb Db Eb Db And it's an only child Eb Db Eb Db Concernin' my reputation Eb Db Eb Db As something more than wild Gb Cb Gb Cb I know it serves me right Ab Db Ab Db But I can't sleep at night Gb Have to hide my face Ab Or go some other play-ay-ay-ay-ay-ace Riff 1 (on rhythm guitar, tuned down minor third): Eb Db Eb Db Eb Db Eb [N.C.] v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v Db -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|--------------| Ab -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|--------------| Fb -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|--------------| Cb -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|--------------| Gb -----------------|-----------------|-----------------|--------------| Db -7b9---------5---|-2-------5---7---|-7b9---------0---|-2---2--------| Verse 2: I won't cry out for justice Admit that I was wrong I'll stay in hibernation 'Til the talk subsides to gone My social life's a dud My name is really mud I'm up to here in lies Guess I'm down to size Db To size Riff 2 (on lead guitar, standard tuning; organ harmonizes a fifth above): E D E v v v v v v v v v v v v E -------------3---|s7-------5-7-5-3-5-3-| ---------------| B -5---------------|---------------------| -5---5---------| G -----------------|---------------------| [2x] ---------------| D -----------------|---------------------| ---------------| A -----------------|---------------------| ---------------| E -----------------|---------------------| ---------------| Bridge: E D Can't seem to talk about E D The things that bother me E D Seems to be E D E What everybody has Db Against me [repeat intro] Oh, oh, all right Verse 3: Here's the situation And how it really stands I'm out of circulation I've all but washed my hands My social life's a dud My name is really mud I'm up to here in lies Guess I'm down to size Db To size Riff 3 (on lead guitar, standard tuning): Eb5 F5 Gb5 F5 v v v v v v v v E -11----------9---|-------------9---| B -----------------|-11--------------| G -----------------|-----------------| [2x] D -----------------|-----------------| A -----------------|-----------------| E -----------------|-----------------| Eb5 F5 Gb5 F5 v v v v v v v v E -11--9-------9---|-11--9-------9---| B ---------11------|---------11------| G -----------------|-----------------| [2x] D -----------------|-----------------| A -----------------|-----------------| E -----------------|-----------------| Coda: Eb Db Eb Db Eb Db Eb Talk talk Talk talk Talk talk Talk talk -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
