Here's my version of "It's Probably Me" by: Sting (for acoustic guitar).
I arranged this song different from the other versions by simplifying
some of the chords, and using a few chord substitutions when possible.
Sting wrote this tune with Eric Clapton, so it tends to sound different
from your standard tune (eerie yet quite beautiful); If you practice the
chord changes it works quite well (try not to let the chord names scare
you off; it's honestly not as difficult as it may seem at first glance).
As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns:

[Intro-2x] EmMaj9 Em6add9 Em7add9 Em6add9
(Verse-1)
EmMaj9 Em6add9
If the night turned cold - and the stars looked down
Em7add9 Em6add9
And you hug yourself - on the cold cold ground
You wakeAm7 the morning - in a stranger's cBm7oat
No one would you sEmee G6 Em
(Chorus)
You ask yourAm7self - who'd watch for mBm7e
My only Emfriend - who could it Em/C#be
It's hard to say Cit
(Chorus)
