Every Breath You Take

by The Police

transcribed by Ben Hollis

Unfortunately this song is impossible for

normal mortals to play in ordinary tuning

If you want to play this song you are going

to have to retune your guitar, and unfortunately

the tuning that is necessary is a little 'inflexible',

and useless for other songs (buy another

guitar).

Anyway tune your low 'E' string down two

half steps to 'D' and your 'G' string (yes!)

down two half steps to 'F'

The song is simply a moveable bar chord

shape that you slide up and down and

arpeggiate.

Lets call this chord Amaj7#11

(as if this is remotely correct

or anyone cares)

e-----------------------

B-----------------------

F-------------6---------

D-------7---------7---- (x2)

A-----5---5----5----5-

D--5--------------------

This next chord is a minor chord

so alter your shape accordingly

F#m7#11 anybody?

F--------------2---------- (x2)

D-------4-----------4----

A-----2----2-----2----2-

F--------------------13----------------

D----------14-----------------14----- (x2)

A------12------12-------12------12

It's beginners stuff, I promise you.

I may have got the key, or even the precise

chords incorrect, but corrections are most welcome
