Electric Blue — Icehouse
Chords and lyrics for Electric Blue by Icehouse (key of G).
Verse 1
As played by Iva Davies and Paul Gildea of Icehouse here:
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.
