Police Tab (Dave Chords)

Unread post by firedancer86 » Sat Feb 01, 2003 11:43 pm

Here is simple proof that you can use these chords and not sound like Dave because, well it was before him!

The stacked fifths in the intro/verses are the same as used in Warehouse, Satellite etc.

I think this is actually a John Mayer cover of the song, but this is how it was originaly played.

i love the police

Everybody always asks me how she's doing. Has she really lost her mind? I said "I couldn't tell you, I've lost mine."

the stacked fifths, like satellite, warehouse, #34, chorus of Granny, part of Captain. It's played on, Every Breath You Take, Message in a Bottle...

oh those ones
yeah i can see why
but if youre referring to the tab of the granny chorus here on the site, its way off

heres the REAL tab to the chorus of granny

E-----x-------x--------x----------------
B-----7-------6--------3----------------
G-----7-------5--------2-----------------
D-----7-------3--------0------------------
A---5-5-------x--------0-------------------
E------------6-6-----3-3------------------

those are the right chords
i dont know why it is tabbed the other way on the site

it's tabbed with stacked fifths in the LLC book, but i'll try those and see what it sounds like.

I don't know if I'd say that Sting was better while with the Police. All I have to say is that Ten Summoner's Tales freaking RULES. THAT is an album. Wow. I think it's the best that has come from either his solo time or time with the Police.
