POLICE - "every breath you take unplugged" Tablature
Official POLICE Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: Every Breath You Take
Artist: Police/Sting
Tab by: Jess Reed
SONG NOTES: Capo on Second
All notation relative to capo
Standard tuning
This is a bloody excellent song, and sounds good on both electric and acoustic.
This is the way i play it on an acoustic, because in my opinion it sounds heaps better t
han the original on an acoustic. The capo is a necessity to get around those curly chords,
and it relly rings outwith it. Please note this not the original version of the song.
Forgive any mistakes, but i'm 99% sure these are the correct notes. Any comments, corrections
or praise are welcome at fender173@hotmail.com. Play hard and loud, and have fun.
