Prefab Sprout 
Adolescence (2013)
(McAloon)

From: "Crimson/Red" [2013]

The chords on the recording are played using a sound called “Fat Fifth”,
which adds the fifth to every note played, thus creating densely layered 
chords which are difficult to reproduce on a guitar. I think what I’ve got
here is pretty close, but it is just a suggestion, of course.

 Adolescence – what's it like?
      Csus4(add9)
It's a psychedelic motorbike
      F
You'll smash it up ten times a day
        Cadd9   C
Then you walk  away

It's moonlight on a balcony

It's pure hormonal agony

Too long   ago

     C/B     F    G           C

Romeo (Romeo) – inconstant? Never!
     Bb                        
It's knives flashing in fountains, poison
Am                          Em
Capulets' letters that go astray
    Gmadd11
Molehills bigger than mountains
     Dm                       F6        G        G7
Your pre sat nav, learning to find your way
