Every breath you take
                   em
And every move you make
                C                     D
Every bond you break, every step you take
                   em
I'll be watching you
              G 
Every single day
                  em
And every word you say
                 C                    D
Every game you play, every night you stay
                   G
I'll be watching you
               C
Oh, can't you see
               G
You belong to me?
                      A
How my poor heart aches 
                     D
With every step you take

Every Breath You Take

Sting - Shape Of My Heart - Uke

F#m                       Bm
 He deals the cards as a meditation
F#m                           Bm
 And those he plays never suspect
D/F#                    A        C#/F
 He doesnt play for the money he wins
D/F#                       F#m
 He doesnt play for the respect
F#m                               Bm
 He deals the cards to find the answer
F#m                          Bm
 The sacred geometry of chance
D/F#               A        C#/F
 The hidden law of probable outcome
D/F#                 F#m
 The numbers lead a dance

F#m                              Bm
 I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
F#m                                    Bm
 I know that the clubs are weapons of war
D/F#                       A              C#/F
 I know that diamonds mean money for this art
D/F#                            F#m
 But thats not the shape of my heart

He may play the jack of diamonds
He may lay the queen of spades
He may conceal a king in his hand
While the memory of it fades

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
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, the shape of my heart

And if I told you that I loved you
Youd maybe think theres something wrong
Im not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
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 spades are the swords of a soldier
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

C#m    A     B      F#m               C#m         A       B    F#m 
A year has passed         since I wrote my note,

but I should have known this      right from the start. 
C#m    A      B           F#m           C#m      A     B    F#m 
          Only hope can keep me together,

love can mend your life,     but   love can break your heart.

Walked out this morning, don't believe what I saw,

a hundred billion bottles, washed up on the shore.

Mountains of endless falling,

For all my days remaining,

Sometimes I see your face,

Why Should I Cry For You

  If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one 
Bm7                         Em 
Drying in the colour of the evening sun

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]

[Intro]
G       Em      D      C  [x4]


	       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
  E              A    F#m  A
Endlessly to the sea
    F#m          E  F#m
If I had my way
           B                D
I'd take a boat from the river
       E
Men go crazy in congregations

But they only get better
One by one


A  F#m  E  D  [repeat adlib]


One by one
One by one by one
One by one

I looked out across...  [Chorus]

VERSE:

 Bb                 Gm     Eb
  Early one morning,  with time to kill
Cm   Gm                   Bb   Eb
  I  borrowed Jeb's rifle, and sat on the hill
    Bb               Gm  Eb
  I saw a lone rider,   Crossing the plain
Cm  Gm                 Bb   Eb
  I drew a bead on him,  To practice my aim
Cm                   Cm/Bb  F
  My brother's rifle,  Went off in my hand
F/G  F           F/A  F    Bb
  A shot rang out        across the land
      Eb                    Cm   Gm
  The horse he kept running, the rider was dead 
Eb  Bb           Gm  Eb           Cm
  I hung my head,  I hung my head


VERSE:


 Bb                 Gm   Eb                   Cm
  I set off running,  to wake from the dream
 Gm                   Bb     Eb
  My brother's rifle,  went into the stream
 Bb                 Gm  Eb
  I kept on running, in-to the salt lands
Cm    Gm                         Bb  Eb
  And that's where they found me, my head in my hands
Cm                        Cm/Bb F               F/G
  The sheriff he asked me,      Why had I run
  F                 F/A  F      Bb
  Then it came to me,      just what I had done
      Eb                 Cm   Gm
  And all for no reason, just one piece of lead
 Eb Bb           Gm  Eb
  I hung my head, I hung my head

BREAK: Bb Gm  Eb  Cm   Gm  Bb  Eb 2x


VERSE:

  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
  And we'll ask the jury, what verdict they find"
  I said "I felt the power, of death over life
  I orphaned his children, I widowed his wife
  I beg their forgiveness, I wish I was dead"
Eb Bb           Gm  Eb
  I hung my head, I hung my head
Cm  Bb           Gm  Eb           Cm
  I hung my head, I hung my head

BREAK:  Bb Gm  Eb  Cm   Gm  Bb  Eb 2x

VERSE:

 Bb                 Gm     Eb
  Early one morning,  with time to kill
Cm  Gm              Bb Eb
  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
  I see a lone rider,   crossing the plain
Cm                      Cm/Bb F                  F/G
  He's come to fetch me,   to see what they done
  F                   F/A  F     Bb
  We'll ride together, '     Til kingdom come
    Eb                   Cm    Gm
  I pray for God's mercy,  for soon I'll be dead
Eb  Bb           Gm  Eb           Cm
  I hung my head,  I hung my head
    Bb           Gm  Eb           Cm
  I hung my head, I hung my head
    Bb           Gm  Eb           Cm
  I hung my head, I hung my head
    Bb           Gm  Eb           Cm
  I hung my head, I hung my head

Moon Over Bourbon Street

G            C9      D         C9 G
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
          C9        D          C9 G
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
               C9         D         G
Lay down your head, and close your eyes
               C9        D         G
And when they open, the sun will rise

D                    C9         G
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
D                           C9          G
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
                       C9
Here your dreams are sweet
      D                  G
and tomorrow brings them true
              C9        D       G
Here is the place where I love you.

G            C9      D         G
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
           C9         D       C9 G
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
             C9       D                 G
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
                     C9                D   G
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away

D                    C9         G
Here it's safe, and here it's warm
D                           C9          G
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
                       C9
Here your dreams are sweet
      D                  G
and tomorrow brings them true
              C9        D       G
Here is the place where I love you.
              C9        D       G
Here is the place where I love you.

Well, someone told me yesterday
C      G                               Am    F
that when you throw your love away
C   G                   Am            F
you act as if you just don´t care,
C   G                          Am           F
you look as if you´re going somewhere.

But I just can´t convince myself,
C G                           Am    F
I couldn´t live with no one else
C   G                Am           F
and I can only play that part
C   G                         Am        F
and sit and nurse my broken heart. So lonely!

Now noone´s knocked upon my door
C        G                          Am    F
for a thousand years or maybe more.

In this theatre that I call my soul

I always play the starring role. So lonely!

The Night The Pugilist Learned How To Dance

Intro:  Em F#

Verse 1:
   Bm  A         G                          
If I caught the world in a bottle
      Em    F#        Bm     A         G
And everything will still beneath the moon
             Em                     F#
With such a love would it shine for me
   Bm     A           G           
If I was smart as an arrow studdling
    Em     F#       Bm     A          G
And understood the rings around the moon
     Em                         F#
Why could it all matter if you love me


Chorus:
             Em             A                    D
Here in your arms with the world is impossibly still
         Bm                  G
With a million of dreams to fulfil
                                   F#
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
              Em         A                     D
Here in your arms and everything seems to be clear
         Bm                    G
Not a salacoius thing What I feel
                                         F#
Except when this moment comes near the dancing´s end
   Bm  A         G
If I caught the world in an hour-glass
 Em     F#      Bm          A    G
Sattled up the moon So we could ride
 Em        Bm          G    Em
Until the stars could dim, until…


Verse 2:
Bm   A   G
One day you meet a stranger
    Em       F#      Bm     A      G
And all the noises silence in the room
     Em                              F#
You feel that you´re close to some mystery
        Bm   A          G
In the moonlight and everything shudders
     Em     F#          Bm      A        G
You feel as if you´ve known it all your life
     Em                        F#
The worse, oldest lesson in history


Chorus:
             Em             A                    D
Here in your arms with the world is impossibly still
         Bm                  G
With a million of dreams to fulfil
                                   F#
And a matter of moments until the dancing ends
              Em         A                     D
Here in your arms and everything seems to be clear
         Bm                   G
Not a salacoius thing do I feel
                                         F#
Except when this moment comes near the dancing´s end
   Bm  A         G
If I caught the world in an hour-glass
 Em     F#      Bm          A    G
Sattled up the moon then we would ride
 Em        Bm          G    Em        F#        Bm           G     Em
Until the stars could dim, until the time, the time stands still, until…

Until

Sting - When We Dance - Uke

[Intro:] B7  E

       E
If he loved you

Like I love you
        C#m
I would walk away in shame
          E
I'd move town I'd change my name

         E
When he watches you

When he counts to buy your soul
        C#m
On your hand his golden rings
        E
Like he owns a bird that sings


         B      E6          A                  E
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
E
The priest has said my soul's salvation 

Is in the balance of the angels
C#m
And underneath the wheels of passion
E
I keep the faith in my fashion
         B      E6          A                  F#m    D
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings

[repeat 2x with:]
"I would love you more than life, If you'll only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day, I'm gonna try in every way
I'm gonna find a place to live, give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life, If you'll only be my wife

[second time]
         B      E6          A                  E    C#m   A
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings


Gb  	F#                  C#
If I could break down these walls and shout my name at heaven's gate
Gb  	F#                        C#
I'd take these hands and I'd destroy the dark machineries of fate
Gb  	F#
Vehicles are broken
A
Heaven's no longer above

Hellfire's a promise away

I'll still be saying
    E              C#m  A  E  C#
I'm still in love


          F#
He won't love you

Like I love you
         D#m
He won't care for you this way
          F#
He'll mistreat you if you stay


          F#
Come and live with me

We'll have children of our own
         D#m
I would love you more than life
           F#
If you'll come and be my wife


         C#     Gb         B                  G#m    E
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
         C#     Gb         B                  G#m    E
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
         C#     Gb         B                  G#m    E
When we dance, angels will run and hide their wings
         F#    Gb  B
When we dance...


I'm gonna love you night and day, I'm gonna try in every way
I'm gonna find a place to live, give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life, If you'll only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day, I'm gonna try in every way
I'm gonna find a place to live, give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life, If you'll only be my wife
I'm gonna love you night and day, I'm gonna try in every way
I'm gonna find a place to live, give you all I've got to give
I would love you more than life, If you'll only be my wife

When We Dance

&quot;Desert Rose&quot; is a single by Sting from his album Brand New Day (1999). The song peaked at #15 in the UK Singles Chart and #17 in the US Billboard Hot 100.  The song is noted for Sting's duet performance with Algerian ra

&quot;I Hung My Head&quot; is a murder ballad written by the singer-songwriter Sting and released on the album Mercury Falling. In 2002, Johnny Cash covered the song in the album American IV: The Man Comes Around along with several other contemporary songs.  The song begins describing a young man who takes his brother's rifle out onto the hill early one morning, with time to kill (an idiomatic phrase originating from The Bible foreshadowing the event of the rider's death) to practice his aim.

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F         C              Am        G
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
F           C       G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Am     C           G      F   
Ow-ow, the Bowery, ow-ow, the whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F      C           Am     G
Ow-ow, the Bowery, ow-ow, the whiskey neat
F           C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us


             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
             F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am

Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o
         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
