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:

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.

Lions in my own garden, exit someone
