Every Breath You Take - The Police ------------------------------------- Tabbed by Nick Coendoz Most of this is based on 'add9' chords, with a nice picking pattern too. Use the right hand palm to damp the strings and get a dry staccato feel. Use a delay set to one quaver note length so that the delay is echoing the picked note, but one note behind. You can play this by fingering only three notes of the chord to start with and moving your first finger across to get the top note. I'll mark the notes to play with the first finger with a '*' then you can see how this finger moves between strings to get the notes. (You only need this for the first two shapes) The basic chord progression is : Intro : Aadd9 F#madd9 Dadd9 D Eadd9 E Aadd9 Verse : Aadd9 F#madd9 Dadd9 D Eadd9 E F#madd9 Aadd9 F#madd9 Dadd9 D Eadd9 E Aadd9 INTRO: ------- Aadd9 E-------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------- G------------6-------------------6----------------------- D-------9------9----9-------9------9----9--------------- A-----7----7------7-------7----7------7------------------ E---5-------------------5-------------------------------- * * * * F#madd9 E-------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------- G----------2-----------------2--------------------------- D------6-----6---6-------6-----6---6--------------------- A----4---4-----4-------4---4-----4----------------------- E--2-----------------2----------------------------------- * * * * Dadd9 D Eadd9 E E-------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------- G-------9----7-------------11---9------9----------------- D-----7--------7---7-----9--------9----9----------------- A---5------------5-----7-------------7------------------- E-------------------------------------------------------- * * * * Aadd9 E-------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------- G-----------6----------------6----------------------- D-------9-----9---9------9-----9---9--------------- A-----7---7-----7------7---7-----7------------------ E---5----------------5-------------------------------- * * * * (Carry on picking in the same style for the verse...)
