This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

This is my first submission, I am a Police freak and I know that there are others

so, I would like to offer one of my favorites, "Regatta De Blanc" as I play it...

essentially there are three components to this jam, the intro, the middle, and the driving finish.

(the intro riff). (Played four times)

G--------------------------------------------------------

        D---------0-3---------0-3----------2-5--------2-5--------
        A--1-1-1--------1-1-1 -------3-3-3------3-3-3------------

E--------------------------------------------------------

( the middle) on the fourth run of the main riff

G--------------------------------------------------------

        D----7-7-7-7-7-7-5---------------------------------------
        A------------------7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-

E--------------------------------------------------------

(the culmination) Sting rides for a bit until the "yeah oh, Yeah oh, a yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, etc.. whereupon he attacks as follows..

G--------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------

        A-----------------------5-------------------------5------
        E-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-----

the above bar goes about seven times until he finishes with a steady ride on the following..

G--------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------

        A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--etc.  etc.--------

E--------------------------------------------------------

I am in no way a master tabbist or bassist I just wanted to throw this tune out because

I just figured it out and I think Sting is one of the Best.. If anyone has any comments or questions,

please E-mail me at lordsid@usonet.ne.jp

Keep the fingers nimble my fellows....
