The Police - Next To You

next to you – the police

the intro ( and after each line in the verse ) is series of quick double hits of the D , A
E chords . i marked this as D – D – A – A – E – E . these sound fine as open chords . while the
is sung , you can strum the top three strings of an E chord . for the chorus , play C#m , D
E as barre chords . right after the chorus , andy summers does a barre chord slide from
to E three times – denoted as D/E . this part ain’t easy! – stodman
