"Sweet Talkin' Woman"

Last night I learned (at least some of) the string parts at the beginning of "Sweet Talkin' Woman."  Some of the notes in the violin part either have a trill or a lot of vibrato, and since I recorded my example using the mellotron sounds on my keyboard, I couldn't replicate that aspect.


This ends a bit abruptly, but I think that's accurate.  The original recording seems to have a hard edit between this string section and the guitar and bass.

"Sweet Talkin' Woman"

I figured out the chords for "Sweet Talkin' Woman" this evening, and I noticed a couple things.

In the first verse, there are the lines "I was waitin' for the operator / On the line" (there's a breath there, so I put in a line break).  Although there's not that much of a resemblance, this recalls the situation in "Telephone Line."

The other thing I noticed is about the chords themselves.  Every verse ends with the line "I gotta get back to you," and the chord progression moves to a C major under the "you."  The song is in C major, so that's the tonic chord.  Musically, there's a feeling of resolution and coming home, which is the same type of emotional response that "get[ting] back to you" would have.
