The Police are a great band. Not only do their songs sound really 
good but they are so easy to play. I recommend that you play this 
while listening to the CD, as the rhythms are pretty hard to get at 
first AND the number of repeats can be noted.

REPEAT AS MANY TIMES AS NECESSARY AND MUSIC EVENTUALLY FADES OUT 
DURING THE CHORUS

If you feel you can, then try to personalize this chorus by changing
the way you make the transition from one note to the other, I tried
it and it sounds better, it flows better.

This is a great song, if very simple, and if you can master the art
of singing while playing your bass you'll do it justice. Its the 
bassist who does the work here, Sting himself, and some skill and
personalization of this song makes it a joy to play.
