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!
Here's my version of "It's Probably Me" by: Sting (for acoustic guitar). I arranged this song different from the other versions by simplifying some of the chords, and using a few chord substitutions when possible. Sting wrote this tune with Eric Clapton, so it tends to sound different from your standard tune (eerie yet quite beautiful); If you practice the chord changes it works quite well (try not to let the chord names scare you off; it's honestly not as difficult as it may seem at first glance). As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns: Cheers . . .

[Verse 1]
Emmaj9Em6add9 If the night turned cold - and the stars looked down Em9Em6add9 And you hug yourself - on the cold cold ground Am7Bm7 You wake the morning - in a stranger's coat EmG6Em No one would you see
[Chorus]
Am7Bm7 You ask yourself - who'd watch for me EmEm/C# My only friend - who could it be C - Cadd9B7 It's hard to say it - I hate to say it Emmaj9 - Em6add9 - Em9 - Em6add9 it's probably me
[Verse 2]
Emmaj9Em6add9 When you belly's empty - and the hunger's so real Em9Em6add9 You're too proud to beg - and too dumb to steal Am7Bm7 You search the city - for your only friend EmG6Em No one would you see
[Chorus]
Am7Bm7 You ask yourself, - who could it be EmEm/C# A solitary voice to speak out and set you free CCadd9B7 I hate to say it - I hate to say it, Emmaj9 - Em6add9 - Em9 - Em6add9 it's probably me
[Bridge]
Am7D - Dsus4 - D You're not the easiest person I ever got to know G (bass-walk-down G,F#,E) Em7 And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show Am7D - Dsus4 - D Some would say I should let you go your way G You'll only make me cry
[Chorus]
Am7Bm7 If there's one guy - just one guy EmEm/C# Who'd lay down his life for you and die CCadd9B7 It's hard to say it - It's hard to say it Emmaj9 - Em6add9 - Em9 - Em6add9 but it's probably me
[Verse 3]
Emmaj9Em6add9 When the world's gone crazy - and it makes no sense Em9Em6add9 There's only one voice that comes to your defense Am7Bm7 When the jury's out and your eyes search the room EmG6Em And one friendly face is all you need to see
[Chorus]
Am7Bm7 If there's one guy - just one guy EmEm/C# Who'd lay down his life for you and die CCadd9B7 It's hard to say it - I hate to say it, Am7A7 but it's probably me CCadd9B7 I hate to say it - I hate to say it, Emmaj9 - Em6add9 - Em9 - Em6add9 (repeat 2x) it's probably me
