And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

I know that the clubs are weapons of war
I know that diamonds mean money for this art
But thats not the shape of my heart
Thats not the shape of my heart

  Here in the courthouse, the whole town is there
  I see the judge, High up in his chair
 "Explain to the courtroom, what went through your mind

  I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
  I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"

  I see the gallows,   up on the hill
      Bb                 Gm   Eb
  And out in the distance,  a trick of the brain
Cm  Gm               Bb Eb

	       G     Em  D
I looked out across
    C       G    Em  D  C
The river today,
     	  G                    Em           D
I saw a city in the fog and an old church tower
	  C              G  Em  D  C
Where the seagulls play,
           G        Em      D            C
I saw the sad shire horses walking home
	G            Em  D  C
In the sodium light
          G
I saw two priests on the ferry
 Em       D         C              G    Em  D
October geese on a cold winter's night


        Em         D F#  Em
And all this time,
    A            C
The river flowed
    D             G    Em  G  D
Endlessly to the sea.


G  Em  D  C

Two priests came round our house tonight
One young, one old, to offer prayers for the dying
To serve the final rite,
One to learn, one to teach,
Which way the cold wind blows
Fussing and flapping in priestly black
Like a murder of crows


Chorus:
        Em         D  F#  Em
And all this time,
    A            C
The river flowed
    D             G    Em  G  D
Endlessly to the sea.
If I had my way I'd take a boat from the river
And I'd bury the old man,
I'd bury him at sea


Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the earth
Better to be poor than a fat man in the eye of the needle
And as these words were spoken I swear I hear
The old man laughing,
What good is a used up world, and how could it be
Worth having


[Chorus:]
And all this time the river flowed
Endlessly like a silent tear
And all this time the river flowed
Father, if Jesus exist,
Then how come he never lived here.


[!Keychange to A!]

A  F#m  E  D

The teachers told us, the Romans built this place
They built a wall and a temple, an edge of the empire
Garrison town,
They lived and they died, they prayed to their gods
But the stone gods did not make a sound
And their empire crumbled, 'til all that was left
Were the stones the workmen found


Chorus:
        F#m        E  F#m
And all this time
    B             D
The river flowed

Endlessly to the sea

If I had my way

I'd take a boat from the river

But they only get better

The Very Best Of Sting And The Police

Sting - Fragile - Uke

[Baug (B Augmented) is fingered 4-3-3-2, or you can play Am7]

Em              Em7                 Am7 
  If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one 
Bm7                         Em 
Drying in the colour of the evening sun 
           Em7                Am7 
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away 
    Bm7                                  Em 
But something in our minds will always stay 
   Em7 
Perhaps this final act was meant 
   Am7 
To clinch a lifetime's argument 
     Bm7 
That nothing comes from violence 
    Em 
and nothing ever could 
    Em7                             Am7 
For all those born beneath an angry star 
     Bm7                            Em 
Lest we forget how fragile we are 
Am           Bm7 
On and on the rain will fall 
     Em 
Like tears from a star 
Like tears from a star 
Am          Baug 
On and on the rain will say 
    Em 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are 

Em7  Am7  Bm7  Em 

Am          Baug
On and on the rain will fall 
     Em 
Like tears from a star 
Like tears from a star 
Am          Baug
On and on the rain will say 
    Em 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are 
How fragile we are



[Special Thanks to voicesblur for the following addition
17-03-2010 - " think Am7 may work better than the Bm7 Am Am7
On and on the rain will fall and Am Am7 On and on the rain 
will say try it out and enjoy :)"]

[N.B 'I can add that I've also tried playing with the Bm7
 on the 'On and on the rain will say' part - playing a Baug 
 (B augmented) chord - which is 4-3-3-2 - It sounds just 
 lovely! so I've added the change above.   Barn1uk 17-03-2010]

There?s a moon over  Bourbon Street    tonight

I see faces as they   pass beneath the pale lamp light

I've no choice but to follow that call

the bright lights, the people, and the moon and     all
F#m7         B7            Em
I pray every day to be     strong

for I    know what I do must be     wrong

Message In The Bottle

Songs From The Labyrinth - Tour Edition

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song

to remind yourself that you forgot
