                            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. CHEERS!

The MAIN RIFF:


Repeats throughout with augmentations

  One type of augmentation Rick uses:
   The "melody" line over "Please don't go" while Rick riffs furiously:
  Descending  riff Rick uses prior to lead insanity:
  Lead is based around the 12th fret based around this figure:

Rick uses lots of feedback and whangbar pyrotechnics throughout the lead
