"ELECTRIC BLUE" - Icehouse
As played by Iva Davies and Paul Gildea of Icehouse here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVwherWVGn4
One of the great songs of the late 80's.
Of note:
I found this key easier to sing to given the lower pitch on a standard tuned acoustic guitar.
Picking the individual upper strings (D, B and A strings) of the Cadd9 chord produces the signature
melody lick of the song without the need to move finger positions. Experiment and enjoy.
