Subject: TAB: Music Machine - "Talk Talk"
OK, here's one of my favorite alienated rants. It came out in late '66,
but my bar band used to do it as late as '75 - with me alternating between
organ, guitar, and tambourine, while barking the lead vocal at the same
time.
Note: the rhythm guitar is tuned down a minor third; the key riff of the
verses is played F#-E but sounds Eb-Db.

Verse 2:
I won't cry out for justice
Admit that I was wrong

My social life's a dud
My name is really mud

Guess I'm down to size
Db
To size

Verse 3:
Here's the situation

Guess I'm down to size
