In this TAB version, the solo might not be right as I can't see it in my head at the moment. In the solo, the ^ indicates a slide from 13th to 15th and back. So sit back, relax, turn the music up loud and enjoy.

Hope this helps someone who enjoys The Police and Andy Summers as much as I Do. If anyone has any of STINGS songs, I would love them expecially FORTRACE AROUND YOUR HEAT. Please e-mail me. IF NO ONE COMPLAINS ABOUT YOUR MUSIC, THEN YOU'RE NOT PLAYING IT LOUD ENOUGH. Phil (e-mail me on s1170796@giaec.cc.monash.edu.au)
