Tuning:

This is one of the Live version tab I took it from Sting Live in South America 2011 https://youtu.be/pf0pSWaa820 Seems like almost same with any other lives like Live at New York Rockefeller Plaza in May 2010 https://youtu.be/VY1MfP9WUQk A bit diff from original is the final part. eg "Be yourself ..." 8times and then "Oh.. Yeah.." 3times. I think play with drums would be much better especially on the Instrumental part. I really love it. Pls try it. [Intro] Em A Bm DM7 Em A Bm DM7 [Verse]
