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).

The changes in the verses are actually the same as in intro and solo.
I still chose to name them differently to indicate the different

CHORDS/SPECIAL VOICINGS
Use the voicings on the higher frets to emphasize the riff-like character
of these parts. The lower voicings sound good in the verses, because they
do not detract from the singing.
