Practical Arrangement by Sting from The Last Ship album For any questions mail me to fffoma@gmail.com Basically, this is a jazzy piano piece. This one is tough to play on the guitar, so I tried to cover the full harmony and provide some possible voicings for you. But sorry in advance if it too complex, it's just what it is. You can try to simplify the chords by playing first part of it (e.g. GMaj7/9 —> Gmaj7, GMaj7b5 — Gmaj7), but song will lose it's charm a little bit in this case. Enjoy and good luck! Key: B Minor, afterwards modulate to C Minor Time: 4/4 GMaj7/9......[3x4435] Em9/A........[x0577x] C7sus4.......[x4442x] GMaj7b5......[3x442x] Em6/9........[0x402x] C#9sus4......[x4444x] F#7#5........[2x233x] AbMaj7b5.....[4x553x] D7b9.........[x5454x] Fm6/9........[1x303x] D9sus4.......[x5555x] G7#5.........[3x344x] D7sus4.......[x5553x] Csus2........[x3001x] Bm9 e|-----------5--------------------------| B|--------3-----2-----------------------| G|--------------------------------------| D|-----4--------------------------------| A|--2-----------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------| * * * *
