The Police were a new wave band which formed in 1977 in London, England. The band consisted of Sting (vocals, bass), Andy Summers (guitar) and Stewart Copeland (drums). The band released five albums -- "Outlandos d'Amour" (1978), "Reggatta de Blanc" (1979), "Zenyatta Mondatta" (1980), "Ghost in the Machine" (1982) and "Synchronicity" (1983) -- before entering a hiatus in 1984 and ultimately disbanding in 1986
The band reunited in January 2007 for a reunion tour that lasted until August 2008.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
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
