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:

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 ...


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 ...
A7sus4 B/G Cadd9
you and ...

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 ...
C2 G Dsus2 Em2
I wanna ...
C2 G Dsus2 Em2 Dsus2 C2 Dsus2
I wanna ...
G Dsus Em2
I wanna ...

(whatever, and so on)
