Prefab Sprout – Dublin chords
Chords:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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-0-2-2-2-2A7/13 x-0-4-0-2-xAadd9 x-0-2-4-2-xBsus2/13 x-2-x-0-2-2Bm13 x-2-4-0-3-xD/F# 2-x-4-2-3-x D11 x-5-4-0-3-xEm11 0-7-7-7-8-7F#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 Em11Who does not adore the soundA Em11Of music in the names of townsD11 A7sus4To build a city on such picturesque groundEm Bsus2/13 Bm13 A7/13That takes some sort of flairD/F# F#m7 Bm7 Em11We draw a line the ink is fearA Em11You stay that side we'll stay hereD11 A7sus4It's far harder to keep it upEm Bsus2/13 Bm13 A7/13Than to tear it downGmaj7 D/F#Does it take you back to the kind of worldGmaj7 [A] Aadd9 AHindsight calls the good old days?Gmaj7 D/F#Now that there's no room in an Einstein worldGmaj7 [A] Aadd9 AFor simple cause and effect*Gmaj7 Em A A6 Gmaj7 A Dub----lin Du---blin*Gmaj7 Em A A6 Gmaj7 A(7) Home of pretty Co----leens*Gmaj7 Em A A6 Gmaj7 A Dub----lin Du---blin*Gmaj7 Em A A6 Gmaj7 A Nurse of such bit-ter dreamsINTRO | Em11 | % | % | % |D/F# F#m7 Bm7 Em11Behind the soft and peachy skinA Em11Where D.N.A. or God beginD11 A7sus4Where sub-Gaelic rot sets inEm Bsus2/13 Bm13 A7/13With stories from your motherD/F# F#m7 Bm7 Em11In myths and less exalted formsA Em11The heady cocktail glory is bornD11 A7sus4You know it's not a bottled stormEm Bsus2/13 Bm13 A7/13So why do you indulge it?*Gmaj7 Em A A6 Gmaj7 A Dub----lin Du---blin*Gmaj7 Em A A6 Gmaj7 A(7) Home of pretty Co----leens*Gmaj7 Em A A6 Gmaj7 A Dub----lin Du---blin*Gmaj7 Em A A6 Gmaj7 A Nurse of such bit-ter dreamsOUTRO | Em11 | % | % | % | That's what my mother told me When I was about knee-high That's what my mother told me When I was about knee-high That's what my mother told me When I was about knee-high That's what my mother told me
