                        Bring On The Night   -   The Police
                   -----------------------------------------------


                               Tabbed by Howard Wright

Most of this song has one riff going along throughout the verses, then
it changes to a few chords for the chorus.

Simple stuff, but very good !

I havn't written any 'slide' symbols, but obviously you're moving pretty
much the same shape up and down, so you get some of the notes sliding up
and down - like when you change from the 5th fret to the 12th.


This pattern repeats for the verses, then goes into:


Chorus :
--------

(Hit the chords on the offbeat :  1  AND  2 AND  3  AND  4  AND   etc)


E-----7---7---7---7-------9---9---9---9---------12--12--12--12---------|
B-----8---8---8---8-------10--10--10--10--------13--13--13--13---------|
G-----7---7---7---7-------9---9---9---9---------12--12--12--12---------|
D----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|

           Bring on the night                         I couldn't stand


E-------7---7-----9---9----------------|
B-------8---8-----10--10---------------|
G-------7---7-----9---9----------------|
D--------------------------------------|
A--------------------------------------|
E--------------------------------------|

 another hour of daylight

Repeat sequence once.

...the young boy stood looking up the road to the future.In the distance both
sides appeared to converge together."That is due to perspective,when you reach
there the road is as wide as it is here",said an old wise man.The young boy set
off on the road,but,as he went on,both sides of the road converged until he
could go no further.He returned to ask the old man what to do,
but the old man was dead.   (sm) Conor Hogan  steely@maths.tcd.ie
