Melody Calling by The Vaccines
Melody Calling
Pretty straight forward song but the Gmaj7 and Asus2 chords may have eluded beginners
when trying to work out this great track.
These 2 chords give it that airy, atmospheric vibe (that and half a ton of reverb!)
In the second half of the chorus try to emphasise that top note (F#) of the Gmaj7 chord.

the verse and the chorus are played the same, maybe just change your energy or engage
another pedal or something.

Oh I,
How can I go on with it much further?
I didn't think that it would go any further,
But now it has and it's making me nervous,
A wonderful motion,
That is carrying your every motion,
Oh I,
I think I might be losing my mind,
Chorus
When I hear a melody calling,
Is your melody calling?
Isn't anyone calling?
Melody calling.
Melody calling (x4)
Verse (can't really catch the words to this verse, it just sounds similar)
Oh I,
I just hear the undeniable order,
(can't hear this line)
I hear it moving under the border,
when crossing the ocean,
And carrying in your every motion
I think I might be losing my mind,
Chorus
When I hear a melody calling,
Is your melody calling?
Isn't anyone calling?
Melody calling.
Melody calling (x4)
(Chorus again)
