I just bought the CD and wantedto figure out the rest of his song. I have just a few additions. Theoriginal poster has the main riff which I have as Phrase I. This seems toonly be used in the 1st iteration of each verse. These are major chords, forthe remainder of each verse uses the minor version of these chords (seePhrase II). Phrase III seems to be the same everytime, it is used to wrap upa verse and go into the chorus. Phrase IV is the chorus. The 3rd chord isa Gmaj7 - I gave an alternate way to play it. On the CD, it sounds like itmay be played open (the second example below), but I think it sounds abetter as a barred chord.Guitar Setup:Use the neck pickup for a warmer sound. If you have a chorus, set the "Rate"tp 40% and the "Depth" to 60% - that's the generic Andy Summers sound.Playing:I don't use a pick on this song, it's easier (and sounds better IMHO) if youuse your fingers. Use your thumb to play the bass note, and index/middle/ringto play the rest of the chord.Phrase I (verse)E7#9 Bbsus2/A B7#9 Bb7E|-----------------------|-------------| B|-------8------6--------|-------------| G|-------7------5--------|----7----7---| D|-------6------8--------|----7----6---| A|-5-6---7---0-----------|----6----5---| E|-----0-----------------|--7----6-----|Phrase II (verse)Em7 Bbsus2/A Bm7 Bb7E|-----------------------|-------------| B|-------8------6--------|-------------| G|-------7------5--------|----7----7---| D|-------5------8--------|----7----6---| A|-5-6---7---0-----------|----5----5---| E|-----0-----------------|--7----6-----|Phrase III (pre-chorus)F#7(#9) Fmaj7 Bm7E|----------------------------| B|---10-------10--------------| G|---9--------9------7--------| D|---8--------7------7--------| A|-9------8----------5--------| E|-------------------7--------|Phrase IV (chorus)Em9 Fm7 Gmaj7 Fm7 Gmaj7 (alternate fingering)E|--------------7---------|-2--------------------------| B|----7----2----7----2----|-0--------------------------| G|----7----2----7----2----|-0--------------------------| D|----5----2----5----2----|-0--------------------------| A|----7----4---------4----|-2--------------------------| E|--0----2----3----2------|-3--------------------------|
