It's the Champagne Talkin'
written by Rick Moranis

NOTE: There's really not an easy way to play this song, so here are the chords. Even
using a conviently-placed capo, you end up playing some awkward chords.
INTRO: Bb
The [Bb]city down below us, [Eb]bridges strung like pearls
The [F]glistenin' of your eyes as an[Bb]other year unfurls
[Bb]Here I am [Bb7]sayin' those things [Eb]that I say now and [Ebm]then
But it's the [Bb]champagne [F]talkin', I'll be myself tomorrow a[Bb]gain
[Bb]Another Super Sunday [Eb]gathering good friends
Gals [F]gigglin' in the kitchen, guys [Bb]gamblin' in the den
[Bb]Maybe we ough[Bb7]ta do what we [Eb]should've way back [Ebm]when
But it's the [Bb]Bud Lite [F]talkin', I'll be a lightweight tomorrow [Bb]again
CHORUS:
[Eb]Valentine's, it's was [Bb]Ballentines
[Eb]Easter, it was [Bb]ouzo
[Eb]Beaujolais on [Bb]Bastille Day
[C7]Labor Day, [F]absolute no[F/D#][F/D][F/C]
[Bb]I can smell a big Purdue [Eb]roastin' in the oven
[F]Givin' special thanks again to [Bb]you for your good lovin'
[Bb]I should know by [Bb7]now that you're the [Eb]best that I can [Ebm]get
It's the [Bb]Cognac [F]yakkin', but I may get there [Bb]yet
(KEY CHANGE)
[B]Now the Christmas tree is tellin' me to [E]give you what I bought
[F#]Time to put the past behind and [B]treasure what we got
So [B]let's raise our glasses [B7]one more time, yeah they [E]wrapped it at the [Em]store
The [B]eggnog's [F#]knockin', this time I'm unlockin' the [B]door
CHORUS:
[E]Valentine's, it was [B]Ballantine's
[E]Easter eggs with [B]ouzo
[E]Beaujolais Nouveau on [B]Bastille Day you [G#m]know
[C#7]Labor Day, abso[F#]lute[F#/E]...[F#/D#][F#/C#]
BRIDGE:
[F#-F#] The eggnogg's knockin'
[B-B] The champagne's talkin'
[F#-F#] This might sound shockin'
[B-B] But I'm not walkin'
CHORUS:
[E]Valentine's, it was was [B]Ballantine's (the eggnogg's knockin')
[E]Easter, it was [B]ouzo (the champagne's talkin')
[E]Beaujolais Nouveau on [B]Bastile Day you [G#m]know
[C#7]Labor Day, a[F#]bso[F#/E]lutely[F#/D#]........[F#/C#].......[B]yes
OUTRO (fade): B E
