"Melt With You" - English Beat (early '80's)

This song is a snap to learn and hard to forget.

I used the video of this song on Mtv to get the

chords and solos. The guitar players hands are

in good view throughout. It's a very basic song,

but when done right (and with an OK voice) it

sounds very nice.

I play it on an 'old' Fender acustic 6 string. It

will definitely sound better using a large bodied

12 string.

Apology: I'm not that well versed in the names of

different chords, so I don't know the name of the

two chords in this song.

These two chords shown are 90% of the song. The

intro and the chorus are played the same. (Each

chord strummed for an 8 count) For the refrain

the #1 chord is held and picked. The rest is even

simpler. The refrain, bridge and solo shown here

are paterns which are repeated.

Good luck and (as always) have fun.
