Tuning: D G C F A D
Hello, this is the version of 'Talk' that's on the studio album, 'M for Empathy' (2019) by Lomelda. The guitar for this song is tuned in 4ths like standard tuning with all strings actually tuned down one whole step from standard tuning: D G C f a d (instead of the standard E A D g b e). Hannah is a fan of Elliott Smith who also used the 'D G C f a d' as his standard tuning. Tempo is 4/4, approx 114bpm. This song is in B♭ Major. Chords for the whole song: B♭-Gm-Cm-E♭-F [I-vi-ii-IV-V]. In addition to the healing lyrics, this beautiful song is interesting in that it follows a 5 chord cycle of I-vi-ii-IV-V while the verse lines are sung over a 4 bar cycle. So the second line of the verse starts on the V chord in the cycle and the third line of the verse begins on the IV chord, 4th line on ii chord, and so on... see below and all will be clear. VERSE: [V = downstrokes; tab numbers in brackets, eg. "(0)", "(1)" or "(4 or 0)", are optional strings to fret when you fret the chords below.] B♭ Gm Cm E♭ D|-(0)--------------x---------------x--------------(0)-------------| A|-(1)--------------x---------------x--------------(1)-------------| F|--0--------------(0)--------------x---------------2--------------| C|--2---------------2---------------0---------------3--------------| G|--3---------------3---------------8---------------3--------------| D|--3---------------5---------------5---------------1--------------| V . . .
