----------------------------------------------------------------- Shape of my Heart - Sting ----------------------------------------------------------------- Album: Ten Summoner's Tales Artist: Sting and Dominic Miller Tabbed by: Joel C. Email: jcboxfr AT yahoo DOT fr This is the transcription of an acoustic version of Shape of my Heart performed by Sting and Dominic Miller. You can find the video on Youtube on Newplayrock's channel. One very important thing: Dominic Miller play some of the bass notes slightly before the beat, like a rake or a syncopation. I marked those bass notes with a sign ^ It really add some dimension to the guitar part. Also, you may have to work a bit on stretching your fingers on this one :-) Structure: P1 P2a P1 P2b P1 P2c P1 P2d P1 P2e P1 P3 P4 P1 P2c P1 P2c P1 P5 P6 P2 b,c,d,e are just slight variations of P2a
