Hi there! I didn't see any chords of this song yet, and it's a great song! I know Andy Summers plays it
with tuning half step up when he plays live, but this way (standard tuning) sounds very good to me (better
than if you put a capo on the 1st fret I think) and very close to the record too, especially if you don't hit
the e string. There are some chords, especially the Ab chord and in the outro, that sometimes you just have
to strum once. I didn't put the strumming pattern but it's easy to find out listening to to song and
following the positions below.
