Shape of My Heart Sting
<br/> <br/> <br/> Shape Of My Heart - Sting<br/> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br/> <br/> Transcribed and arranged by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).<br/> <br/> This is not exactly how it is played on the album, but makes a pretty good<br/> approximation for a solo guitar.<br/> <br/> Standard tuning, capo 2nd fret.<br/> <br/> 4/4 time, all beats spaced evenly in the tablature.<br/> <br/> <br/>

NOT the way Dominic Miller plays it. I've got Sting's concert in<br/> Oslo (1994) in videocassette and it is definitely harder than this.<br/> Dominic Miller uses an electric-shaped acoustic guitar, which makes it<br/> easier to play in the high frets as he does.<br/> The names of the chords might not be correct, too.<br/> <br/> ( If you want to play with the record, then use a capo on the 2nd fret )<br/> <br/> <br/> Intro:<br/> Em Bm Am B<br/> 0x2003 xx0x02 002210 223332<br/> e--3--------3-----|--2--------2-----|--0--------0-----|--0-----0--|--------|--<br/> B--------0-----0--|--------0-----0--|-----------------|-----------|--4-----|--<br/> G-----------------|-----------------|--------2-----2--|-----------|-----4--|--<br/> D--2--2-----------|--0--0-----------|-----------------|-----------|--------|--<br/> A-----------------|-----------------|--0--0-----------|--0--0-----|--2-----|--<br/> E-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------|--------|--<br/> <br/> C/E Bm Am B<br/> 0x2013 xx0x02 002210 223332<br/> e--3--------3-----|--2--------2-----|--0--------0-----|--0-----0--|--------|--<br/> B--------1-----1--|--------0-----0--|-----------------|-----------|--4-----|--<br/> G-----------------|-----------------|--------2-----2--|-----------|-----4--|--<br/> D--2--2-----------|--0--0-----------|-----------------|-----------|--------|--<br/> A-----------------|-----------------|--0--0-----------|--0--0-----|--2-----|--<br/> E-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------|--------|--<br/> <br/> C B C B7 ?
