 Prefab Sprout
 When Love Breaks Down (1985)
 (Paddy McAloon)
 
 From: "Steve McQueen"
 
 A very beautiful song and a great recording, too. But instruments and
 harmonies create dense layers of chord textures that are very difficult to
 recreate on one guitar. So a lot of what is here is my interpretation of
 what is played. Take the basic chords and try to create your own
 arrangement. Enjoy!
