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!
What does this tab sound like?
