Every Breath You Take
The Police
This is a simplified version of the song that I created for a 6-year-old student. It's played on just the 6th string. Instead of chord names, only the 6th string fret number is provided.
Playing a bass line on the 6th string is the easiest way to play a song on guitar--perfect for total beginners or kids who want to sing and play at the same time.

Every bond you break every step you take, I'll be watching you

Every single day every word you say

Every game you play every night you stay, I'll be watching you
Chorus:

Oh, can't you see, you belong to me

how my poor heart aches, with every step you take
5 (2) 2 (2)
Every move you make, every vow you break

Every smile you fake every claim you stake, I'll be watching you
Bridge:

Since you've been gone, I've been lost without a trace

I dream at night I can only see your face

I feel so cold I long for your embrace
1 (2)
I keep crying baby, baby please
