Song: Every Breath You Take
Artist: Police/Sting
Tab by: Jess Reed
SONG NOTES: Capo on Second 
            All notation relative to capo 
            Standard tuning

This is a bloody excellent song, and sounds good on both electric and acoustic. 
This is the way i play it on an acoustic, because in my opinion it sounds heaps better t
han the original on an acoustic. The capo is a necessity to get around those curly chords, 
and it relly rings outwith it. Please note this not the original version of the song. 
Forgive any mistakes, but i'm 99% sure these are the correct notes. Any comments, corrections
or praise are welcome at fender173@hotmail.com. Play hard and loud, and have fun.

Eb                                         F     
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
                                     Eb
I dream at night I can only see your face
                                     F
I look around but it's you I can't replace
                                    Eb                                                                   
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
