Toby Keith, I Wanna Talk About Me
From: Pull My Chain
Submitted by: CowPatty (taciturn@earthlink.net)
At the time of this submission there was only a post of lyrics in the
archive and
they looked like they needed to be corrected to me so I tried to do my
best at
the lyrics and the chords as I can make them out. Hope you all enjoy it.
Key of F: this fun song sounds best with full barre-chords with barres
at the frets
suggested by the numbers shown below for this repeating progression, and
note
the stinger at the end of the progression with the Dm-C-Dm! It sounds
best if you play a barred-C on the 3rd fret in quick succession with the
Dm:
The chords of the song are carried along in the strong syncopated bass
line
(in the first three frets on a bass it sounds something like Obla Dee
Obla Dah:
F-A-C-C-E-G-D-F-A-Bb-D-F) you can see I'm not willing to draft up
a tab for this, but I think you can work it out from the CD. Play along
with the Video
on CMT or GAC and you will get it in no time. Have fun. Even the ladies
like this one!
