Song: Don't box me in (Copeland/Ridgway)
Artist: Stewart Copeland
Album: Rumble Fish (from the film with the same name)
Chord analysis: Mats Fagergren , 2016-10-25
comment: Stewart Copeland (The Police) and Stanard Ridgway made this song together.
the harmony is really odd..and it is difficult to not put on repeat.
My conclusion is that many sections in the music are build upon sus2-chords..
It can be difficult to find this amazing piece of music..
You can find it on You Tube

There's a few places 'round

That I've never been
