Subject: TAB: Talk Tonight by Oasis
Talk Tonight, written by Noel Gallagher, performed by Oasis
Talk Tonight can be found on the UK "Some Might Say" single and the US
"Wonderwall" single. Great song.
--I've seen a number of attempts to tab this song, but none have been
quite right; some off more than others, so here's my attempt to do it right.
Chords used:
EADGBe
Em7 (022030)
Em2 (022033) [used in chorus only]
A7sus4 (x02030)
Cadd9 (x32030)
C9 (x32330)
C2 (x32022) [used in chorus only]
G (3x0033)

Intro
-----
Em7 (strum once) Em7 A7sus4 C9 G A7sus4 Cadd9
Verse
-----
Em7
Sitting on my own, chewing on a bone
A7sus4
a thousand million miles from home, when
Cadd9 G A7sus4 Cadd9
something hit me, somewhere right between the eyes
Sleeping on a plane you know you can't complain
You took your last chance once again, and
landed, stranded, hardly even knew your name
Chorus
------
Cadd9 G Dsus4 Em2
I wanna talk tonight
C2 G Dsus4 Em2
Until the morning light
C2 G Dsus4 Em2
'Bout how you saved my life
Cadd9 A7sus4 Cadd9
And you and me see how we are
A7sus4 Cadd9
And you and me see how we are
Tab for chorus
--------------
During the chorus there's a second guitar that plays this little riff
during each G Dsus4 Em2 part of the chorus.
[NOTE: this is almost the exact same riff as can be found in the "And all
the roads we have to walk are winding" part of Wonderwall.]

Musical Interlude
-----------------
Played same as intro.
Verse
-----
All your dreams are made of strawberry lemonade
and you make sure I eat today, you
take me walking to where you played when you were young
I'll never say that I won't ever make you cry
and this I say I don't know why, I
know I'm leaving, but I'll be back another day
Chorus
------
Same
That's pretty much it, except towards the end of the song, there are 2
changes to the usual patterns.
1) Towards the end, the "And you and me see how we are" part goes
Cadd9 A7sus4 B/G Cadd9
and you and me see how we are
A7sus4 B/G Cadd9
you and me see how we are
2) At the end where the chorus is repeating again and again, it starts to
go like this every 4 measures:
G Dsus2 Em2
I wanna talk tonight
C2 G Dsus2 Em2
I wanna talk tonight
C2 G Dsus2 Em2 Dsus2 C2 Dsus2
I wanna talk tonight
G Dsus Em2
I wanna talk tonight
(whatever, and so on)

Paul Weller playing keyboard and singing background vocals, check it out!!
