The Police surge en Londres en 1977, año de crispación, delincuencia y paro en el Reino Unido, causas del malestar social que hizo a la juventud comenzar a adorar a cuatro chavales que gritaban, despotricaban contra la monarquía y bebían mucha cerveza (y se metían lo que no era cerveza), Los Sex Pistols. En pleno auge del movimiento punk, en el que el virtuosismo instrumental y las letras carentes de insultos y política estaban relegados a un segundo plano, eran las bandas realmente buenas las que salían adelante.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
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
