Youre All Talk

You’re All Talk - Cheap Trick -------------------------------------------------------------------------------  From the In Colour & Black and White album (1977) Obviously this was before the Tricksters were concentrating on cleaning up their image to be sweet little pop sensations in the US. This is more along the lines of their grittier first album. Tuning: Standard  First the lyrics: N/C                                        G Please don’t go Please don’t go away from me N/C                                        G Please don’t go Please don’t go away from me G-N/C etc. . . I got my breakfast in bed You’re big stuff in Chicago - so get in bed This bedroom’s only 12 by 10 You’re all talk You’re all talk I got your number for a real good time Take the phone off the hook and watch you go wild They say you go nuts and that’s what I like You’re all talk You’re all talk Please don’t go Please don’t go away from me Please don’t go Please don’t go away from me I got your number for a real good time Take the phone off the hook and watch you go wild They say you go nuts and that’s what I like You’re all talk You’re all talk You’re all talk You’re all talk You’re all talk You’re all talk You’re all talk You’re all talk The song is sung over Rick’s insistent riff At various times Tom echoes Robin’s vocal on the bass the entire song is built around Bun E. Carlos’ rolling thunder drum track You’ll really need to listen to the track to get its "feel" To help I tabbed as much of the primary riffs to assist you all in getting maximum enjoyment out of this tune.
