• Song:

    Dessert Rose

  • Artist:

    Sting

This is from the Hal Leonard Book.  Something kept bugging me and it sounded a bit off,
bit low, so I listened and played along with the original riff and adjusted it a bit.
power chords and recommend using them coz it sounds better. Give it a try, and if you 
any comments, email me: jngois@yahoo.com . Shout out to my bro Mamark, Coz: Jimbo, Wally,
Beng,Jiljil in Toronto, Canada. Canadian Beer Rocks !!!!

Position: EADGBE, number corresponds to fret number.
