I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT LOVE (Nanci Griffith) ---------------------------------------------- [Thanks to [email protected] for the chords; I cleaned up the lyrics and added the tab at the end...] [Actually in F#; capo 2. Each chord is one measure.] [E=022100, B(11)=x99800, A(9)=x77600, A=x02220, Am=x02210.] [Try varying A(9) as x77607 and E as 022200, esp. at the end of the verse.]
EB(11)A(9)A(9) EB(11) A(9)A(9) [intro; see tab at end]
EB(11) I don't wanna talk about love A(9)A(9) 'Cause I've heard it before, and it talks too loud EB(11) You can hear it in a disco midnight A(9)A(9) Shouting
EB(11) And I don't wanna think about it, think about it A(9)A(9) Comes dressed in summer clothes AAmEE When you're traveling through the heart of the winter's cold
And I don't wanna talk about changes Changes come of their own free will And if you wanna talk about leavin' Well you've always walked and you always will
And every time you talk about love Well you talk about your yesterdays Yesterday's washing away with this morning's rain
AAm I don't wanna talk about it EA 'Cause love has a voice of its own AAmEE If all we do is try to outshout it, then the love is gone
EB(11)A(9)A(9) 'Cause I don't wanna talk about love now EB(11)A(9)A(9) I don't wanna talk about love now EB(11)A(9)A(9) I don't wanna talk about love now EB(11)A(9)A(9) I don't wanna talk about love now
Can't you hear the voice in my heart It calls your name in the middle of the night It's always been a quiet voice When it's breaking up
I don't wanna talk about this love This love was my saving grace So can't I just say that I love you and we'll call it a day
'Cause I don't wanna talk about love now I don't wanna talk about love now I don't wanna talk about love now I don't wanna talk about love now
Actually, the intro isn't even played on a guitar, but this is the melody. Try throwing in some other notes below these (e.g., play the first 1 as x221xx).
