You gotta love Sting and his off-beat rhythms. Tabbed by: BASSteve Tuning: EADG Time signature: 4/4 r = rest (listen for duration) / = slide (low to high) ()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on {}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure ||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x) x = muted note *My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song. In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration. However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate durations.
