Song: Invisible sun
Artist: The Police
Composer: Sting
Album: Ghost in the machine
Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com)
20th June 2014
A really simple version for acoustic guitar.
You can simplify it further if you like by missing out
the quick D5 slide and just stay on the C5.
CAPO: 3rd fret (Sounds in the key of Eb)
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
C5 = x355xx G5 = 355xxx or G = 355433
D5 = x577xx F#5 = 244xxx or F# = 244322
Amadd9 = x02200 F5 = 133xxx or F = 133211
Asus2 = x02400 E = 022100
E7sus4 = 020200
E7 = 020100

Wherever the Amadd9 appears the riff is as above, I haven't
shown the Asus2 change in the main tab below for neatness.
