^^^^^^^^^^^
this is the beginning riff use your third finger for
the last 2 notes just laying it across the neck to
hit the high note 9th fret on the b string this part
is played pretty quickly so just practice it for a
little bit before trying to play it up to speed.

^^^^^^^^^^
this is the even faster riff. this gives you the main
melody but there is another part being played underneath
it but its just be-bop type picking a few notes if you
have 2 guitarist then maybe attempt with the other part
but its really hard to hear it behind this one, and I
really doubt andy played it with the second part live
im pretty sure the guitar behind it is overdubbed. That's
what made this part so tricky to figure out, thank god
my cd player has a repeat section on it where It plays any
section you want over and over or else I probably wouldn't
have figured it out.

E----------------------|
B-----9----------------|  this chord is played after the bass repeats
G-----7----------------|  the first time just once in the whole song
D-----7----------------|  I think
A-----7----------------|
E----------------------|


E-----------7----------|
B---slide/7------------|  part is played after the bass repeats
G----------------------|  the second time just once in the whole
D----------------------|  song.
A----------------------|
E----------------------|


that's all the guitar parts but here is the bass part when
the guitar is not playing I like to play it along with the
bass cause it has a really cool sound to it. play the first
2 parts of it 4 times at the beginning and play it in the
order it is here in most of the song and near the end, play
the second 2 parts 4 times

Its too bad we can never see the police live again this would
have been a good one to hear, probably kicked ass.

If you have any corrections or fixes or think I have played
a part wrong please feel free to write me an email
