"Invisible Sun" by The Police
Words and Music by Sting
Transcribed by Mark Offen

Verse 1:


Eb        Cm9

Eb                      Cm9
I don't wanna spend the rest of my life

Eb                           Cm9
Looking at the barrel of an Armalite

Eb                      Cm9
I don't wanna spend the rest of my days

Eb                              Cm9
keeping out of trouble like the soldiers say


Verse 2

Eb                    Cm9
I dont wanna spend my time in hell

Eb                         Cm9
looking at the walls of a prison cell

Eb                  Cm9
I don't ever wanna play the part

Bb9                 A9         Ab9
of a statistic on a Government Chart

Chorus

G
There has to be an invisible sun,


It gives it's heat to every one


There has to be an invisible sun


It gives us hope when the day's done


Verse 3:

It's dark all day and it glows all night
Factory smoke and acetylene light
I face the day with my head caved in
Looking like something that the cat brought in

Chorus

Instrumental:  D  Bm9 repeat

Verse 4:

And they're only gonna change this place
By killing everybody in the human race
And they would kill me for a cigarette
But I don't even wanna die just yet.

Chorus

Chords:
 a dash means a fret and an X means "finger here"

Cm9 			Bb9		A9
e --x            e x--        e --x--|
b --x            b x--        b -x---|
g --x            g x--        g ---x-|
d x--            d ---        d -x---|
a --x			a x--		a
e ---			e ---		e

Ab9 is the same as A9 but move your fingers down
one fret.--====================987654321_0==_

                         by The Police
                   (off Ghost in the Machine)

NOTE: Use a fretless if you've got one - it really helps the bass tone 
      during the chorus.
