[Disclaimer: This is my interpretation of this song. I worked it out
from the CD and do not have the sheet music if it even exists -- LM]
TALK OF THE TOWN
(The Pretenders)
[Thanks to Clark Chang for the lyrics.]
Use a flanger/chorus to get the shimmery sound.
The intro is a picked progression (an arpeggio) of the following two
chords. (The "h" means hammer on.) The picking is down except for the
last strike of the arpeggio.
G Csus2
e 3 3
b 3 3
g 0
d 0 2
a 2 2h3
E 2h3
B7 Em Am
Such a drag, to want something sometime,
D
One thing leads to another. I know,
B7 Em Am D
Was a time I wanted you for mine, Nobody knew.
B7 Em Am
You arrived like that day, passed like a cloud,
D [picked Csus2 with bass notes down to A, then D]
I made a wish. I said it out loud,
[picked Csus2 with bass notes down to A, then D]
Loud in the crowd.
[picked Csus2 with bass notes down to A, then D]
Everybody heard,
[picked Csus2 with bass notes down to A, then back
to C]
'twas the talk of the town.
It's not my place to know what you feel,
I'd like to know but why should I.
Who were you then, who are you now.
Common laborer by night, by day highbrow
Back in my room, I wondered while I
Sit on the bed, look at the sky,
Look at the sky, clouds rearrange
Like the talk of the town.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.
You've changed, you've changed,
Your place in this world.
You've changed, you've changed,
Your place in this world.
Oh, but it's hard to live by the rules,
I never could, and still never do.
The rules and such never bothered you,
You call the shots and they follow.
I want you still from a distance then go
Back to my room, you never know.
I want you, I want you now,
Is the talk of the town.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.
Maybe tomorrow, maybe someday.
You've changed, you've changed,
Your place in this world.
You've changed, you've changed,
Your place in this world.
