The chords shown are drawn this way due to the diffences
in tab and font sizes from news reader to news reader.

"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.
