Tuning: Half step down (Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb)

Prefab Sprout 
Dublin (1985, released 1989) 
(McAloon)


This beauty has interesting chords thus creating a special texture. 
It is mostly picked.

It is not easy to find out what is played and even though I think I got 
close, there are parts where I'm not sure at all. Especially the section 
I tabbed out below doesn't not seem elegant enough to me. Suggestions 
for corrections are highly welcome!

I don't really know the names of some of the chords. But I didn't want to 
just "number" them, so I tried to name them anyway. Whoever knows more, 
please comment! 

What does this tab sound like?
