prefab sprout
desire as ( 1985 )
( paddy mcaloon )

from : “steve mcqueen”

i find it utterly impossible to play this alone on one guitar and still
preserve the textures of the original . it probably wasnt meant to be
played like that , either .

its still very beautiful and what is here might give you some idea to work
out your own version . and if you by any chance find a name ( and a possible
root ) for the last triad in the intro and the chorus , please let me know!

the tuning of the original recording is somewhere in between things .
