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?
e--------------------------
B-------------------------
F--------------2---------- (x2)
D-------4-----------4----
A-----2----2-----2----2-
D--2----------------------
Dmaj7#11?
e---------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------
F---------------------11--------------- (x2)
D----------12-----------------12-----
A------10------10-------10-------10
D-10-----------------------------------
Emaj7#11?
e----------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------
F--------------------13----------------
D----------14-----------------14----- (x2)
A------12------12-------12------12
D-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
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official POLICE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
