The Police - Every breath you take - key G

[@CrashingWaves-dm6oi]

When the antidepressants start to kick in

[@james6234]

Lots of people sing it in this key because its easier than the original

[@ThiefOfNavarre]

Also fits the subject matter better. Song about stalking in a major key?

[@zdf14]

@@ThiefOfNavarre This is still in a major key, just tuned down a step.

[@thewomble1509]

@Dustin Void Best get in touch with Sting then. He thinks it's a "nasty song about surveillance and the Big Brother zeitgeist" and has said so many times.

[@charlesmartel3995]

@Dustin Void Well said!

[@alexandrecarvalho5573]

This key is easier to play on guitar than the original (you need a capo on the first fret of the guitar to play the original).
Chords: Gadd9, Emadd9, Cadd9, Dadd9 and Gadd9 (most of the song).

[@jonatanlukas921]

I think this is my number 1 song in my life..listened this song since 1985 and i have listened all kinds of versions , all kinds of singers, remixes etc but all those things only lead to one thing...this song is really cool....👍👍👍👍

[@parody-of-eve]

The tone is exact as Puff Daddy's I'll Be Missing You. It's actually cool in this key.

[@stephenstromhenriksen4995]

I love this song I when I was in middle school I dance with a girl I put my head in her shoulder. We were just friend

[@NupeWD1993]

The BEST version!

[@GChief117]

Man this is great! 🔥😎🙌💥✨🔥

[@coolguy2873]

Also, never take this down. I like this version of this song.

[@platypuses7]

i love this so much

[@tgsiii2179]

I perform this in G because, as @James said, it's easier to sing. Not all of us have the controlled shriek of Sting. It also "works" better on guitar like this.

[@jokpyles]

My e-bass Professor told me the same!

[@happyears21694]

Not really a controlled shriek. That's more likely for "Roxanne" or any song from "Outlandos d'Amour".

[@happyears21694]

You'd have to tune down to D standard because there's a point when it goes "Eb, F, Eb, F, Eb" (1:22-1:43).

[@gianluigimigliore]

My singer prof suggested me to shift to G,too

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

This was the key when the song was used in "Cat's Eye" (1985). I love that film!

[@starchaser777]

i swear i used to hear this song in this key when i was younger, in my memory thats how the song is like lol

[@singerguitaristmunna]

no words

[@RickyIdanan]

😊😊Nice song

[@andresrodriguezmella8100]

Esta como la voz más lenta pero igual una genialidad

[@Davey-TheDJ]

This is one of my late best friend favorite songs listening to it makes me think of him best friends from 1997 to Dec of 2017!

Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
And every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby please
Oh, can't you see
You belong to me?
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take?
Every move you make
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you

[@jokpyles]
