Here's the chords for an old song from that wierd turtle album. If you
have anything interesting (positive or negative) to say, please mail
me. You'll piss off fewer people and, besides, I don't have the time
to follow this group with it's zillions of posts.

"They Dance Alone (Cueco solo)" -  STING    from "...Nothing Like The
==============================    -----                           Sun"
                                             and      "Fields of Gold"

This is fairly simple except for two chords.
(All others are detailed at the bottom anyway.)

Faug4maj7     133200
Eadd6         022120

I think that they're correctly named and placed in the song but mail
me if you know better. All comments, criticisms and corrections would
be appreciated.
(I wouldn't mind knowing what the song is about either. Sorry if
that's a little ignorant......)

Ellas danzan con los desaparecidos

Ellas danzan solas
Danzan solas

   One day the money's going to stop

   No wages for your torturers,
F#m
