TALK TONIGHT - OASIS
====================

Verse
=====

Em
Sitting on my own, chewing on a bone
Am
A thousand million miles from home, and
C               G       Am                          C
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
======
C                       G D Em
I want to talk tonight

          C             G D Em
Until the morning light
          C                     G D Em
'bout how you saved my life
C                       Em
You and me know how we are
C                       Em
You and me know how we are

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&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&       The higher that you climb

Talk Tonight by OASIS (from the single Some Might Say)

This is another of Noel Gallagher's amazing acoustic tracks,
taken from the single Some Might Say, which incidentally
went straight to number one in the British charts, even knocking of
the mighty TAKE THAT!!! Go BUY this single, the title track
and Aquiesce (track 3) are just as good as this one.

Em7
Sitting on my own, chewing on a bone,
Asus4
A thousand million miles from home,
Cadd9          G/E
When something hit me,
Asus4                       Cadd9
Somewhere right between the eyes.

Em7
Sleeping on a plane, you know you can't complain,
Asus4
You took your last chance, once again I,
Cadd9   G/E
Landed, stranded,
Asus4                 Cadd9
Hardly even knew your name.

Cadd9        G/E      (Dsus2)
I wanna talk tonight,
Cadd9             G/E    (Dsus2)
Until the morning light,
Cadd9                  G/E    (Dsus2)
'Bout how you saved my life,
Cadd9                 Asus4
You and me see how we are,
Cadd9                 Asus4
You and me see how we are.

(Instrumental for next verse, then..)

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'll say, I don't know why, I,
Know I'm leaving,
But I'll be back another day.

Chords (or rather my interpretation of them!)

Note: I know that at the end of the song there is twiddly bit
      and during the chorus there is a second guitar playing
      another twiddly bit over the Dsus2 but I haven't tried
      working them out.

Talk Tonight - Written by Noel Gallagher

Second song on the Oasis "Some Might Say" CD single.

This, I hope, is a fairly accurate transcription of this beautiful Noel
Gallagher song. Skip the notes if
you're already familiar with it. But you may find some useful
suggestions!!! Hope you enjoy it,
please mail me with any thoughts, suggestions or corrections.

Keith Bradnam


Notes on playing:

1) To get the right sound, this song needs to be played as a mixture of
strumming and picking. For the verse, a couple or
so strums on each chord, and then pick the E, B and G strings in that
order. I've noticed that sometimes Noel only plucks
the E, and B string, and it seems that the "D" note played on the B string
gives quite a characteristic quality to the song.

2) In the chorus (just after "I want to talk tonight...") there is some
quick picking following the G chord. I.e.

 G      D Dsus4 D       Em

-3--3----2--3---2-------0-----
-0----0------------3----0-----
-0-------------------2--0-----
-0----------------------2-----
-2----------------------2-----
-3----------------------0-----

If you don't want to pick this, try strumming: G, D, Dsus4, D, Dsus4, D,
Em (strumming the D chords very quickly!),
which also sounds ok!

3) There are loads of chords in this song (see below), and I've found that
many others can be used which sound ok. You
can easily substitute Am for A7sus4 or Cadd9 for C9. But I'm fairly sure
(apart from right at the end, see note 4) that these
are the chords as played on the song, i.e. on the CD. I've noticed that in
live versions, Noel has opted for simpler chords
and use of more strumming, as opposed to picking out notes. I guess if
Noel plays it both ways, then this means there's no
official way of doing it. But this is the most...fullsome sound, in my
opinion :)
At the part in the song where he sings "and you and me see how we are". It
feels like you can play Am, Em7, C. For some
reason the B note on the second string of the Em7 chord feels right, but
he doesn't play it!!! He just plays A7sus4, Cadd9!
Although when he played live with Paul Weller, Paul did play that Em7
chord on the keyboard.

4) Right at the end of the song, there is some very quick strumming in the
repeat chorus. I'm unsure if I've got the exact
nature of these chords right, although playing G,D,C,D quickly (change on
each beat) does sound about right (but I accept
that there's probably an add9 in there somewhere!). Also I'm still a
little hazy as to how the words "'bout how you saved
my life" are sung over this part.

5) In the chorus, there are two places where the line "I wan't to talk
tonight" can be sung. Noel sings this line in both
places (it changes at the end) so beware!

6) Any lyrics in brackets indicate backing vocals.

7) Additional notes are enclosed in asterisks where appropriate

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:

Em* (022030)
Em2 (022033) [used in chorus only]
Am* (x02030)

a thousand million miles from home, when
C*             G        Am*                         C*
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
------
C*(continued from verse)  G     Dsus  Em2

Tab for chorus
--------------
During the chorus there's a second guitar that plays this little riff
during each G  Dsus  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

        C*                 Am*  B/G  C*
and you and me see how we are
                        Am*  B/G  C*
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    Dsus   Em2
I wanna talk tonight
C*2              G    Dsus   Em2
I wanna talk tonight
C*2              G    Dsus   Em2 Dsus C*2 Dsus
I wanna talk tonight
                 G    Dsus   Em2
I wanna talk tonight

(whatever, and so on)

Enjoy!! And if you haven't yet heard the version of Talk Tonight with
Paul Weller playing keyboard and singing background vocals, check it out!!
