--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lions in My Own Garden (Exit Someone) - Prefab Sprout --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Half-step down (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb) Prefab Sprout Lions in My Own Garden (Exit Someone) (1982) (McAloon) The beautiful debut by one of my favourite bands: Prefab Sprout’s first single. This tab sounds pretty original. That is because it is mostly a transcription of a tab by the songwriter Paddy McAloon himself: http://wwwlloydcolecom/weblog/indexphp?p=3307&c=1 The original is not very readable, 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. The song has been reissued on: “38 Carat Collection” --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
