Artist: The Pretenders Song: Talk of the town Tabbed by: DJ 6th July 2014 This is based on the full version of the original single, which is found on The Pretenders 'Greatest Hits' album. The 'Pretenders II' album had a shorter edited version. Chrissie now plays a simplified version on acoustic sessions, but I've tried to emulate what I can hear on the record, with the chords taking into account a bit of what Pete Farndon was playing on bass. (G/F#)= 2xxxxx A7sus2= x02000 G/B = x20033 D4 = xx0233 G = 320033 Am7 = x02010 Cadd9 = x32033 C/G = 332010 C = x32013 B7 = x21202 D = xx0232 I find the (G/F#) to G and the (G/B) to C easier as a hammer-on, but it is probably better as a slide. *************** (G/F#) G (G/B) C (G/F#) e |-----|----------3------|----------3-------| B |-----|----------3------|----------1-------| G |-----|----------0------|----------0-------| D |-----|----------0------|-------2----------| A |-----|------2-------2--|--h3----------2---| E |--2--|--h3-------------|------------------| G (G/B) C (G/F#) e |----------3------|----------3--------| B |----------3------|----------1--------| G |----------0------|----------0--------| D |----------0------|-------2-----------| A |------2-------2--|--h3----------2----| E |--h3-------------|-------------------| G (G/B) C (G/F#) e |----------3------|----------3--------| B |----------3------|----------1--------| G |----------0------|----------0--------| D |----------0------|-------2-----------| A |------2-------2--|--h3----------2----| E |--h3-------------|-------------------| G A7sus2 Am7 e |--------------3---|---0----0---3----| B |--------------3---|---0---h1---1----| G |--------------0---|---0----0---0----| D |--------------0---|---2----2---2----| A |----------2-------|---0----0---0----| E |--h3--------------|-----------------|
