Valparaiso(Tabs)

	        Sting - Valparaiso Guitar Tabs 


I tabbed this myself from the violin sheet music. 
It is only the melody and is fairly simple, but in 
the original song, sting sings acapella with only a  
violin and guitar doubling the exact melody line. 
I have the tab for all the parts except the bridge, 
which is noted in the lyrics.

Lyrics: 

Chase the dog star 
Over the sea 
Home where my true love is waiting for me 
Rope the south wind 
Canvas the stars 
Harness the moonlight 
So she can safely go 
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso 

Red the port light 
Starboard the green 
How will she know of the devils I've seen 
Cross in the sky, star of the sea 
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go 
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso 
Valparaiso 


And every road I walked would take me down to the sea 
With every broken promise in my sack 
And every love would always send the ship of my heart 
Over the rolling sea 

If I should die 
And water's my grave 
She'll never know if I'm damned or I'm saved 
See the ghost fly over the sea 
Under the moonlight, there she can safely go 
Round the Cape Horn to Valparaiso 

Valparaiso 
Valparaiso 
Valparaiso
