Without further ado, here's that frequently requested tune, performed by
my all-time favourite band!!!

Walking On The Moon
THE POLICE
Regatta de Blanc
A&M, 1979

[Play and hold a Dm7 for each line of the bass...dum-da-dum, da-dum-DA-dum,
you *know* what I mean :-) ]


[Repeat this sequence four times for each verse:]
 Dm7                          Bb/C          C

(Giant steps are what you take walking on the moon.....)

After the bridge, then play and hold a Dm7 for two more lines
of the 'dum-da-dum' bass sequence, just as in the intro.

Then play the same Dm7,Bb/C and C sequence to repeat and fade.

..and that's all there is to it!
