Talent Show 
[From "Don't Tell a Soul"] 
 
This is the opening bit on the acoustic.  Pretty easy, just bar the
open A chord so that you can bounce up and down on the second fret for
the F# note and have your pinky ready to hit the G# note on the 4th
fret.
 
 
0---2---0------2---4---2---0---2
2---2---2------2---2---2---2---2

2---2---2------2---2---2---2---2
0---0---0------0---0---0---0---0

This is repeated throughout the song where I have the A chord.  The lead
line just does very minor variations on the 0-2-0-2-4-0-2 stuff
on the high E string.
 
 
A
In my waxed up hair and my painted shoes
A
Got an offer that you might refuse
A
Tonight, tonight, we're gonna take a stab
A
Come on along, we'll grab a cab

D
Check us out, here we go
A
Playin' at the talent show
 
A
Well we got our guitars and we got some picks
A
An' we're goin' after some lip-sync chicks
A
We're feelin' good from the pills we took
A
Oh, baby, don't gimme that look
 
D
We ain't much to look at so
A
Close your eyes, here we go
D
We're playin' at the talent show
A
Playin' at the talent show
D
Come on along, here we go
A
Playin' at the talent show
D
Hop a ride, here we go
A
Playin' at the talent show
 
A
Well it's the biggest thing in my life I guess
Look at us all, we're nervous wrecks
Hey, we go on next
 
D
Playin' at the talent show
A
Playin' at the talent show
D
Wish us luck if you can't go

An empty seat in the front row
A

It's too late to turn back, here we go

Subject: Talent show intro

I thought I'd send in what I've come up with for the intro to "Talent
Show."


This is how I play the very beginning of "Talent Show." I just let the
open E, A, B, and E strings all ring on the down beat and anytime I happen
to hit them (I am not noted for the subtlety of my playing).

Of course this repeats however many times. The figure kind of comes and
goes. What tipped me off that it was higher up the fretboard was the
descending C#-B-A line on the D string.
