Here is the Reggae/Rhythm Guitar Chord/Structure & Norman's Lead Vocal for UB40's forthcoming single
after over six years without one and it's called 'Moonlight Lover'(feat: Gilly G) and it's taken from
their forhcoming new studio album 'For The Many' due for release FEB-2019,I got the single yesterday
as another gift for yet another album delay,But if you've seen UB40 live recently they have added
'Moonlight Lover' to their live sets and of course it's been leaked over various web sites
so you will be able to find it,It'll probably be on the radio here in the U.K too?

Played in a typical UB40 style using a staccato Chord chop on the 2nd & 4th beats of each Measure/Bar.

There's a lot of ace Rapping throughout by Gilly G,But again this is just Norman's Lead Vocal as
far as Vocals go and the Reggae/Rhythm Guitar Chords/Structure:

C=EADGBE Am=EADGBE F=EADGBE G=EADGBE Ab=EADGBE
