Tuning: E A D G B E

*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS***** Anthony John Clarke - Smooth Old Talk [Intro] D7 G C G D7 G [Verse 1]

I write songs about poli^D7ticians ^GCorruption and se^Cdition My ^Gsongs they tiptoe over the ^D7line My ^Glecture in ^D7aptness My ^Gpolitical incor^Crectness Mea ^Gculpa, all these ^D7songs, they are ^Gmine

[Verse 2]

I ^B7may reach a crescendo With a ^Emtouch of innuendo I ^Athrow in an item of ne^Dws There'll be ^Gsongs of deep de^D7pression Like a ^Gkaraoke ^Csession And I ^Gmight do a ^D7song about ^Gyou

[Interlude] C G D7 G [Verse 3]

There'll be one for my friend, ^D7Lorna She ^Glives just 'round the ^Ccorner Now ^GLorna only ever listens to the ^D7blues I have ^Gone for a friend in ^D7Chester Whose ^Gparticular friend, ^CLester Has just ^Gleft him to go ^D7back on the ^Gbooze

[Verse 4]

This ^B7over way inquisition I'm an ^Emincompetent magician I ^Afail to saw my woman in ^Dtwo While ^Gacting arty-^D7tarty At some ^Glate-night tinker's ^D7party So I ^Gmight do this ^D7song about ^Gyou

[Chorus 1]

But I want to know what ^D7brings you here to^Gnight I want to know what brings you here to^D7night You see, ^GI'm up here, you're over there Well, you ^Ccould be home in your easy-chair ^GI want to know what ^D7brings you here to^Gnight

[Chorus 2]

Was it some ^Csmooth old talk? Or did you ^Gjust take the dog for a big long walk? Or ^Cdid you just sneak out behind your ^D7wife?

N.C.

Oh no, you would not do that ^GI want to know, I want to know ^CI want to know, I want to know ^GI want to know what ^D7brings you here to^Gnight

[Instrumental] C G D7 G (3x) [Verse 5]

Singing on right, for ^D7nada Being ^Gseven years old in ^CIreland And I ^Gwon the great big kish and ro^D7mance That ^Gtime in the café on the ^D7coast road When de^Glicious Sister Mary ^CJoseph Sidled ^Gup to me and ^D7begged me for a ^Gdance (there ye are) ^B7

[Verse 6] There was the pretty little acrobat

She gave me ^Empeppermint tea and a pretty little hat ^AShe did fifteen cartwheels on my ^Dfloor That's a ^Gtopic not too ^D7cosy For a ^Gbig jack-queen called ^D7Rosy Who's ^Gnever heard or ^D7cried, "Collect them ^Gall!"

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

Was it some ^Csmooth old talk? ^GHey, take the dog for a walk Or ^Cdid you just sneak out behind your ^D7wife?

N.C.

For the fifth time this week, baby ^GI want to know, I want to know ^CI want to know for sure ^GI want to know what ^D7brings you here to^Gnight ^C ^G ^D7
