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).

VERSE
Cmaj7 Bm7
There was that girl I used to know
Am7
She'd tease me about my name
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
Fan the embers long enough
Am7/E
I sometimes catch her flame


VERSE
Cmaj7 Bm7
The soothing voice of distance tells me
Am7
"That was just a fling"
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
Other music fills my ears
Am7/E
But I still hear her sing, she sings


CHORUS
Cmaj7 Bm7
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Am7
Don't you remember me?
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
How long ago one gorgeous night
Am7/E
We let the stars go


CHORUS
Cmaj7 Bm7
Paddy Joe, say Paddy Joe
Am7
Don't you remember me?
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
How long ago one gorgeous night
Am7/E [ Cmaj7 ]
We let the stars go free


SOLO
| Cmaj7 | Bm7 | Am7 | % |
| Cmaj7/G | Bm7/F# | Am7/E | % |


VERSE
Cmaj7 Bm7
There was a boy I used to be
Am7
I guess that he was cold
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
If she came to buy him now
Am7/E
How cheaply he'd be sold


VERSE
Cmaj7 Bm7
But the light is gone and it is dark
Am7
What used to be the sky
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
Is suddenly embarrassing
Am7/E
To the naked eye, you see ...


CHORUS
Cmaj7 Bm7
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Am7
Can't face this memory
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
How long ago one gorgeous night
Am7/E
We let the stars go


CHORUS (variation)
Cmaj7 Bm7
Paddy Joe, see Paddy Joe
Am7
Can't face this memory
Cmaj7/G Bm7/F#
How long ago one gorgeous night
Am7/E
We let the stars go

Cmaj7 Bm7
Long ago one gorgeous night
Am7/E
We let the stars go
Cmaj7 Bm7
Long ago one stupid night
Am7 [ Cmaj7 ]
We let the stars go free


OUTRO (+ coda)
| Cmaj7 | Bm7 | Am7 [ Cmaj7/G ]
We let the stars go free
| Cmaj7/G | Bm7/F# | Am7/E [ Cmaj7 ]
We let the stars go free
| Cmaj7 | Bm7 | Am7/E [ Cmaj7/G ]
We let the stars go free
| Cmaj7/G | Bm7/F# | Am7/E [ Cmaj7 ]
We let the stars go free
