Written by: Paddy McAloon
Released in 1982
Now on: “38 Carat Collection”
Tuning: Half-step down (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb)
The beautiful debut by one of my favourite bands:
Prefab Sprout’s first single.
These chords sound pretty original. That is because this here is mostly
a transcription of a chord sheet by the songwriter Paddy McAloon himself:

The original is not very readable, though, so I tried to improve it in
this respect and added some notes to the chords to make it sound good
when played alone without a band.

CHORDS/SPECIAL VOICINGS
I had to give names to some of these chords which was not always easy,
as they are rather idiosyncratic. Who has got better ideas? –
I’m open for suggestions.
