Ride - Prefab Sprout

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Prefab Sprout
Sweet Gospel Music (1992)
(McAloon)
From: "Let’s Change the World With Music" (2009)
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
voicings when playing alone.

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.
