"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.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MODERN ENGLISH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
