Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Prefab Sprout
Desire As (1985)
(Paddy McAloon)
From: "Steve McQueen"
I find it utterly impossible to play this alone on one guitar and still
preserve the textures of the original. It probably wasn?t meant to be
played like that, either.
It?s still very beautiful and what is here might give you some idea to work
out your own version. And if you by any chance find a name (and a possible
root) for the last triad in the intro and the chorus, please let me know!
The tuning of the original recording is somewhere in between things.

Emaj7 Ebm F# [?]
I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them
I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them
I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them
I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them
They were the [B/C#]best times, the [G#m7/9]harvest years
With jam to lace the [F#]bread[Emaj7]
So [B/C#]goodness, [G#m7/9]goodness knows why I'd
Throw it to the [F#]birds[Emaj7]
[F#] But there[Emaj7/F#] it is,
[F#] And th[Emaj7/F#]ere we are
And [F#]all I ever want to be is [B/D#]far from the eyes that [G#m7]ask [Gdim]me
[B/F#] In whose bed you[G#m7] gonna be and[C#m7/9] is it true you[A] only [F#dim]see
Emaj7[/G#] Ebm F# [?]
Desire as a self-figured creature who changes her mind ?
Emaj7/G# Ebm F# [?]
Desire as a self-figured creature who changes her mind ?
It's perfect [B/C#]as it stands[G#m7/9]
F# [Emaj7/G#]
So why then crush it in your perfect hands ?
Emaj7/G# Ebm F# [?]
Desire as a self-figured creature who changes her mind ?
Emaj7/G# Ebm F# [?]
I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them
Emaj7/G# Ebm F# [?]
I've got six things on my mind you're no longer one of them
So [B/C#]tell me you [G#m7/9]must have thought
It all out in ad[F#]vance
Or [B/C#]goodness,[G#m7/9] goodness knows why you'd
Throw it to the [F#]birds
You mock the [B/C#]good things, you [G#m7/9]play the heart strings,
Play them one by [F#]one
[F#] But there[Emaj7/F#] it is,
[F#] And th[Emaj7/F#]ere we are
And [F#]all I ever want to be is [B/D#]far from the eyes that [G#m7]ask [Gdim]me
[B/F#] In whose bed you[G#m7] gonna be and[C#m7/9] is it true you[A] only [F#dim]see
