Next To You - The Police
 
The intro (and after each line in the verse) is series of quick double hits of the D, A
E chords.  I marked this as D-D-A-A-E-E.  These sound fine as open chords.  While the
is sung, you can strum the top three strings of an E chord.  For the chorus, play C#m, D
E as barre chords.  Right after the chorus, Andy Summers does a barre chord slide from
to E three times - denoted as D/E.  This part ain't easy! - stodman
