Truth Hits Everybody Tab

Author/Artist: The Police Title: Truth Hits Everybody Album: Outlandos D'Amour (1978) Transcribed by: Patrick Mauro Email: pmauro@engr.uvic.ca As usual, listen to the song for the timing. On this song I like just a little bit of distortion. Not lots, but enough to fuzz it a bit. This is it, should be at least close to the song. Have fun. ----------------------------- Order ----------------------------- -6--6--6--6--6--6-------4---- 1 x 3 -6--6--6--6--6--6--7----4---- 1b x 1 -4--4--4--4--4--4--7----2---- 2 x 4 -------------------5--------- 3 x 3 1 4 x 3 1 x 3 ----------------------------- 1b x 1 ----------------------------- 2 x 4 -6--6--6--6--6--6-------7---- 3 x 3 -6--6--6--6--6--6--7----7---- 4 x 3 -4--4--4--4--4--4--7----5---- 1 x 3 -------------------5--------- 1b x 1 1b 2 x 4 3 x 3 ----------------------------- 4 x 3 ----------------------------- 1 x 3 -6--6--6--6--6--6------------ 1b x 1 -6--6--6--6--6--6--7--7--7--- 5 x 1 -4--4--4--4--4--4--7--7--7--- 6 x 1 -------------------5--5--5--- 4 x 1 2 (muted) 7 x 2 * . . 4 x 5 ---------- ----------------- 3 x 4 ---------- ----------------- 1 x 7 ---------- ---6------------- 1b x 1 -7--7----- ---6--7---------- -7--7----- ---4--7---------- * 8 is played 3 times -5--5----- ------5---------- over top, 2nd guitar. 3 4
