Prefab Sprout

Biography:

Prefab Sprout are an English pop band from Witton Gilbert, County Durham formed in 1976, who rose to fame during the 1980s. Though critically acclaimed, and considered by many to have released some of the best pop albums of the decade, the band never matched this acclaim with commercial success. The band's best known lineup comprised Paddy McAloon (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Wendy Smith (vocals, guitar, keyboard), Martin McAloon (bass), and Neil Conti (drums).

[Intro]
E7sus4/D Aadd11 F#m7
E7sus4/D Aadd11 E E6
E7sus4/D Aadd11 F#m7
E7sus4/D Aadd11 E E6


[Verse]
E7sus4/D Aadd11 F#m7
I saw you from the tractor the harvest had begun
E7sus4/D Aadd11
You were the lovechild of two gods
E E6
I was the farmer's awkward son
E7sus4/D Aadd11 F#m7
You left Mount Olympus to find your soul mate
E7sus4/D
I left a scribbled note, quote:
Aadd11 E
"Dear Pa, this year harvest can wait"


[Chorus]
Bm7 E F#m Bm7
You took the match to my dry August days
Bm7 E F#m E
Cornfield ablaze! Cornfield ablaze!
Bm7 E F#m Bm7
Flames licked the sky, that was some summer haze
Bm7 E F#m E
Cornfield ablaze! Cornfield ablaze!
Bm7 E F#m Bm7
How do I love you? Let me count the ways...
Amaj7 Bm7 Amaj7 Bm7
Cornfield ablaze!


[Verse]
E7sus4/D Aadd11 F#m7
Pa, don't be angry the fields that were host
E7sus4/D Aadd11
To the corn and the wheat:
E E6
The fact is they're toast!
E7sus4/D Aadd11 F#m7
In self-defence I'm obligued to point out
E7sus4/D Aadd11
There'll always be a risk of combustion
E
When there's been a drought


[Chorus]
Bm7 E F#m Bm7
You took the match to my dry August days
Bm7 E F#m E
Cornfield ablaze! Cornfield ablaze!
Bm7 E F#m Bm7
Flames licked the sky, that was some summer haze
Bm7 E F#m E
Cornfield ablaze! Cornfield ablaze!
Bm7 E F#m Bm7
How do I love you? Let me count the ways...
Amaj7 Bm7 Amaj7 Bm7
Cornfield ablaze!


[Bridge]
E F#m Bm7 E
Imagine if the firemen worked and worked for days
E F#m Bm7
And still the cornfields stayed ablaze...


[Verse]
E7sus4/D Aadd11
Her hair it was golden
F#m7
Her hair it was yarn
E7sus4/D Aadd11
We were playing with fire
E E6
In a number one barn
E7sus4/D Aadd11
Carried away like
F#m7
Two sparks on a breeze
E7sus4/D Aadd11
Then we fused into one
E
At a thousand degrees


[Chorus]
Bm7 E F#m Bm7
You overwhelmed agricultural man
Bm7 E F#m E
Cornfield ablaze! Cornfield ablaze!
Bm7 E F#m Bm7
You wild pyromaniac daughter of Pan
Bm7 E F#m E
Cornfield ablaze! Cornfield ablaze!
Bm7 E F#m Bm7
You took a scarecrow and made him a man...
Amaj7 Bm7 Amaj7 Bm7
Cornfield ablaze!
Amaj7 Bm7
Cornfield ablaze!
Amaj7 Bm7
Cornfield ablaze!
Amaj7 Bm7
Cornfield ablaze!
