Anyway tune your low 'E' string down two half steps to 'D' and your 'G' string (yes!) down two half steps to 'F' The song is simply a moveable bar chord shape that you slide up and down and arpeggiate. Lets call this chord Amaj7#11 (as if this is remotely correct or anyone cares) e----------------------- B----------------------- F-------------6--------- D-------7---------7---- (x2) A-----5---5----5----5- D--5-------------------- This next chord is a minor chord so alter your shape accordingly F#m7#11 anybody? e-------------------------- B------------------------- F--------------2---------- (x2) D-------4-----------4---- A-----2----2-----2----2- D--2---------------------- Dmaj7#11? e--------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------- F---------------------11--------------- (x2) D----------12-----------------12----- A------10------10-------10-------10 D-10----------------------------------- Emaj7#11? e---------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------- F--------------------13---------------- D----------14-----------------14----- (x2) A------12------12-------12------12 D-12----------------------------------- It's beginners stuff, I promise you. I may have got the key, or even the precise chords incorrect, but corrections are most welcome Date: Tue, 28 May 2002 23:36:28 +0200 From: "espen.fjerdingstad@sol.no" Subject: p/police/every_breath_you_take.tab The Police: Every breath you take (synchronicity) Transcribed by e.fjerdingstad, chesterfiesta@sol.no I've always played this song in C. Don?t know if it's right, but I tried to pick it off the video. Here goes: ---------------------- -------3---5-3---3---- ---------------------- -----5---5-----5------ x2 ---3------------------ ---------------------- ---------------------- -----------1---------- -------4-----4---4---- -----2---2-----2------ x2 ---0------------------ ---------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------- -----------2------------------4--------------------- -------5-----5---5--------7-----7---7--------------- -----3---3-----3--------5---5-----5----------------- ---1------------------3----------------------------- ---------------------- -------3---5-3---3---- ---------------------- -----5---5-----5------ x2 ---3------------------ ---------------------- The trick here is to let your index finger "walk". For instance, after you?ve struck the bass in the first chord, move it to the h string, and let it work from there. Same goes for the 3rd and 4th chord too, except here you move it to the g string. Easy does it, and remember to mute all the notes. Good luck
