--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adolescence - Prefab Sprout --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS/SPECIAL VOICINGS E-A-D-G-B-E C x-3-2-0-1-0 Csus4(add9) x-3-3-5-3-3 Cadd9 x-3-2-0-3-x C/B x-2-x-0-1-0 Gmadd11 3-x-3-3-1-1 F(maj7) (t)1-3-3-2-1(0) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo 2nd fret INTRO | C | % | Csus4(add9) | % | | C | % | Csus4(add9) | % | C Adolescence - what's it like?
