Walking on the Moon (live-Reunion Tour Version)-The Police
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Mike Jacobson

Tuning: Standard eBGDAE
The song is almost the same as the studio version just everything is tuned down
so stings voice can still sound right. It also has a cool solo that uses octives.
Part 1.
The song starts with the bass and then this chord. I think its Dm11Dm11 flat. I will
show the base line also. Andy Summers uses a lot of delay so If you want it to
sound right you can just hit the chord twice like I show. This is played in the
intro and in between verses.
e|---------------2-2---------------------------------------------------------|
BB|---------------2-2---------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------4-4---------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---------------2-2---------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------2-1-----------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|--2-2-4----------------------2---------------------------------------------|
Part 2.
The next part is the verse. It’s almost like the studio version but flat.
The chords are below. The last of the chord has a lot of deley. I’m not sure
how Summers does it but I would just hit it multiple times. This is use for all
of the verses in the song.
