--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dublin - Prefab Sprout --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Half step down (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb) Prefab Sprout Dublin (1985, released 1989) (McAloon) From: "Protest Songs" This beauty has interesting chords thus creating a special texture. It is mostly picked. It is not easy to find out what is played and even though I think I got close, there are parts where I'm not sure at all. Especially the section I tabbed out below doesn't not seem elegant enough to me. Suggestions for corrections are highly welcome! I don't really know the names of some of the chords. But I didn't want to just "number" them, so I tried to name them anyway. Whoever knows more, please comment! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VERSE (last line) Em Bsus2/13 Bm13 A7/13 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + e|------2---------|----------------| B|0-----2-------3-|------2---------| G|0-----0-------0-|--0---0---0-----| D|0-------------4-|------4---------| A|------2---------|------0-----0---| E|0-------------2-|----------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS/SPECIAL VOICINGS (alphabetically) E-A-D-G-B-E (half-step down) A6 x-0-2-2-2-2 A7/13 x-0-4-0-2-x Aadd9 x-0-2-4-2-x Bsus2/13 x-2-x-0-2-2 Bm13 x-2-4-0-3-x D/F# 2-x-4-2-3-x D11 x-5-4-0-3-x Em11 0-7-7-7-8-7 F#m7 2-x-2-2-2-x Gmaj7 3-x-4-4-3-x The [A] indicates a single note --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Half step down INTRO | Em11 | % | % | % | D/F# F#m7 Bm7 Em11 Who does not adore the sound A Em11 Of music in the names of towns D11 A7sus4 To build a city on such picturesque ground Em Bsus2/13 Bm13 A7/13 That takes some sort of flair [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/p/prefab-sprout/351709.html ] D/F# F#m7 Bm7 Em11 We draw a line the ink is fear A Em11 You stay that side we'll stay here D11 A7sus4 It's far harder to keep it up Em Bsus2/13 Bm13 A7/13 Than to tear it down Gmaj7 D/F# Does it take you back to the kind of world Gmaj7 [A] Aadd9 A Hindsight calls the good old days?
