MELODY CALLING by THE VACCINES

This is my first tab/chords, so I apologize for any inaccuracies. 
This tab is based on this live recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uItX-l2AZGQ
I only recognized three chords in the performance. I suggest that you play around a bit if
you're playing solo, since the entire band is present in the video and the guitar on its 
own may sound a bit flat.

The song has a pretty constant rhythm to it. Once you get the rhythm (I suggest listening to
the song/video while playing) it's pretty simple. Some of the Bm's in the verses can get a bit
tricky to play so you can try skipping those if they give you difficulty.

-Verse-

         G   Bm   A
Ooh oooh I,
             G          Bm   A
How can I go on with it much further?
         G                      Bm  A
I didn't think that it would go any further,
           G                 Bm  A
But now it has and its making me nervous,
  G     Bm  A
A wonderful motion,
        G                  Bm  A
That is carrying your heavenly notion,
         G   Bm   A
Ooh oooh I,
          G               Bm A
I think I might be losing my mind,

         G                    A    
Because, when I hear a melody calling,
G                 A
   Is your melody calling?
G               A
   Isn't anyone calling?
       Bm         A

-Verse-

         G  Bm  A
Ooh oooh I,
              G      Bm  A
I just did an undeniable order,
          G                  Bm  A
I hear it coming in the wire and coda,
          G                 Bm   A
I hear it moving and calling the border,
    G     Bm     A
And crossing the ocean,
    G                 Bm   A
And carrying your heavenly notion,
        G   Bm   A
Ooh ooh I, 
          G               Bm A
I think I might be losing my mind,


-Chorus-

        G                    A    
'Cause, when I hear a melody calling,
G                 A
   Is your melody calling?
G               A
   Isn't anyone calling?
       Bm         A
Melody calling.
