Are there websites that provide the actual melody of songs and not just chords?

I'm trying to find the melody of Van Canto - Last Night of the Kings, but all I'm finding are chords. Are there websites that also provide the melody as sung by the singer as musical notes?

I think there's a very specific group of people that would like this and most of them are able to replay it by ear, especially once they know what key it's in.
But if you know the chords, and you can correspond a chord to a specific section of the melody, you'll know that the notes are within that scale.
If this is too cumbersome, you might isolate the melody with something like Audacity or another DAW-like tool, look for a wav to midi converter and import the midi in a DAW to see the notes. YMMV.
In any event, if there is no sheet music, note progression or anything like that available, you will need to do some of the work yourself.
IIRC ChordU has the most advanced sheets.
But a word of warning, most such sites aren't exactly privacy-oriented.
heya! not sure if this will help but from the chord progression you can discern the key and mode the song is in (eg D lydian) then just find the easiest place to play this (on guitar it'd be the 1st pentatonic box starting from 10th frett - adding in the 7th and #4th to make it lydian) then with these 7 notes sing the melody and pick along to find the vocal melody (if disonant vocals try neighbouring notes outside the mode too).. not answer to your question but might help..
