This is one of the Live version tab I took it from Sting Live in South America 2011
https://youtu.be/pf0pSWaa820
Seems like almost same with any other lives like Live at New York Rockefeller Plaza in
May 2010
https://youtu.be/VY1MfP9WUQk

A bit diff from original is the final part.  eg "Be yourself ..." 8times and then "Oh..
Yeah.." 3times.
I think play with drums would be much better especially on the Instrumental part. I
really love it.
Pls try it.
