Roxanne2 tab by The Police

Tabs

From [email protected] (DANGERMAN (P. Grant))

  Well it has started. After posting my article yesterday, I have been
  flooded with requests for Police songs in Tab. So today I have sat down,
  in between lectures and typed in Roxanne for your playing pleasure.

  Since I am doing a number of songs, I would like a favour in return. I
  would like a list of good quality bootlegs of Police concerts and where I
  can get a hold of them expecially in Australia. That's the bargin, info
  for songs.

  Stay tuned for more songs.
