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... }

Ask if I...

The mirror...

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!
