"Melinda"

the riff is...

  Am   Asus2  Am   Asus2  
 ////   ////  ////  ////

so that means Am for 4 then Asus2 for 4 and so on. i think they do that for the whole
song, but there may be some alterations in the breaks/solos. the lyrics are below,
enjoy!


"Melinda"  LYRICS

When I get 400 dollars, I'm off to see Melinda
When I get 400 dollars, I'm going to see Melinda
And I dont care if you're going with me
Cuz I'm getting up in the morning
And I'm off to see Melinda (i'm off)

(break)

I would give the moon and sun
Just to see Melinda
The earth and all the sky
To be there with Melinda
And I just dont care what you've got to say
Cuz I'm getting up in the morning
And I'm goin to see Melinda

(break)

Yes I'm through with Clay County, you never did a thing for me
Yah I'm through with Clay County, it never did a thing for me
Yes and one dark night, I'm gonna crawl through the window
Yes I'm getting up this morning
And I'm off to see Melinda (yeah I'm off)

(longer break)

Yah I'm through with Clay County, it never did a thing for me
Yah I'm through with Clay County, you never did a thing for me
And I just dont care what you say
Cuz I'm waking up in the morning
And I'm going to see Melinda (going to see Melinda)

(solo and end)
