When you use this tab you should listen to the record (to get this funny
little differences that made The Police excellent and others not)

!
Feel free to vary the parts e.g. combine it with the bass line.

Well... The intro is in the 5th fret, soon i'll upload a GP.
The song is in A, and this tab should be moved down a fret. Then the open A works in the intro, and the b and high e can be left open for the descending part. Also, the "shadow in my heart" part works with a d chord form on the 5th fret, allows the open d to ring, and allows you to add the High A, and HIgh C as the bar progress's.
On the album, the first bar is from a different take and has been slowed down a bit to match the tempo, at the expense of the pitch! Let it play a few bars and then start it over, you won't miss it...
