Only talking sense - Finn
(Tab by Rodney Macfarlane)
(I know i haven't done a very good job as i couldn't be bothered working
out exactly what he plays but it should give you some idea - i'm pretty
sure the chords are right though)
Tuning: DAdGBe
(For the riffs i've really only given the essence of what they are as Neil
vairies it constantly - if you base you're own improvisation around the
chords and what i've tabbed you should have something which shounds okay.)

play riff during verse with improvisation especially on the D chord
Verse I:
there's a wild thing in the wool shed
and its keeping me awake at night
a devil in the closet
and a feeling i'd prefer to hide
he religion
he won't hear me when i cry for help
he has a vision of me
but i am somebody else
Chorus:
we [Bm] talk the pillow
there are [G] times when i'm tied up to the [F#m] fence
and i'm only talking sense [play riff I]
Verse II:

D---------------4h5--------------------------------------|
there's a mirror lake before me
but i'm frozen when its time to jump
it's like maybe i'm afraid of what i'll find
when independance comes
you steel my shadow
you make my blood run dry
Chorus II:
we are [D] true only when we [Bm] talk the pillow
there are [G] times when i'm tied up to the [F#m] fence
only talking sence [play riff II]
and i'm only talking sense [play riff I]
Verse III (with Riff II):
did you suffer as a child
that's why you want to make me cry
you are afraid of me
that's why you're so unkind
Chorus III
[D] you [Bm] won't deny it
when you're [G] child is tied up to the [F#m] fence
and i'm only talking [D] sense
lonely when we [Bm] talk the pillow
and your [G] child is messed up in the [F#m] head
i'm only talking sense [Bm]
