Seven Days  -  Sting  from the album "Ten Summoner's Tales"
               Transcription by Luis Ferreira



{ If you want to give that cool sound of the beginning of the song, just }
{ pull the A string alone and then the D, G and B strings simultaneously, }
{ and immediatly muting them with your palm, or whatever. But if you want }
{ to do this, I guess it all sounds better with barre (whatever) chords, }
{ otherwise the strings will ring too much... }

Cmaj7
The fact he's...
      D#               A#
Might instill...
     G              F                  Fadd9
But not in...

Cmaj7
Ask if I...
     D#               A#
The mirror...
       G            E
He'll murder...

Cmaj7
Does it bother...
    D#        A#            G
My rival is...
   F                   Fadd9
Perhaps I need...


Cmaj7
IQ is no...
   D#                 A#              G
We won't be...
   E             E7
I need that...

Fmaj7  Fmaj7/F#           G
Monday, I could...
   E7/G#         Am
If I make...
 Fmaj7              G     E7/G#            Am
Wednesday would...
F#7-5/nr        Am    F#7-5/nr
Friday give me...
     Fm              Cmaj7
But Sunday'd...


A#               Cmaj7
Seven days...
A#                   Cmaj7
The fact remains...
A#         F
Seven days...
A#              Cmaj7

 Fmaj7  Fmaj7/F#           G
Monday, I could...
   E7/G#         Am
If I make...
 Fmaj7              G     E7/G#            Am

      A#                                Cmaj7  A#

         A#                             Cmaj7  A#  C
But it's always...



Great song, hope you'll like it :)


Cmaj7      x32000  , but I think x35453 sounds better
D#         x68886
A#         x13331
G          320003  , or 355433
F          133211
Fadd9      xx3213  , but  xx3011 will do the job :)
E          022100
Fmaj7      xx3210
Fmaj7/F#   xx4210  (just add your pinky to the previous chord)
E7/G#      420100
Am         x02210
F#7-5/nr   x12310  (/nr stands for NOROOT)
Fm         133111
C          x32010

I'm sure there is a better name for that F#7-5/nr chord,
but who cares, anyway? Bah!
