Bring On The Night   -   The Police

Tabbed by Howard Wright

Most of this song has one riff going along throughout the verses, then
it changes to a few chords for the chorus.
Simple stuff, but very good !

I havn't written any 'slide' symbols, but obviously you're moving pretty
much the same shape up and down, so you get some of the notes sliding up
and down - like when you change from the 5th fret to the 12th.
This pattern repeats for the verses, then goes into:
Chorus :
--------
(Hit the chords on the offbeat :  1  AND  2 AND  3  AND  4  AND   etc)
E-----7---7---7---7-------9---9---9---9---------12--12--12--12---------|

...the young boy stood looking up the road to the future.In the distance both
sides appeared to converge together."That is due to perspective,when you reach
there the road is as wide as it is here",said an old wise man.The young boy set
off on the road,but,as he went on,both sides of the road converged until he
could go no further.He returned to ask the old man what to do,
but the old man was dead.   (sm) Conor Hogan  steely@maths.tcd.ie

No Picture zach Wanna Be	#1 by zach miles at Apr 21, 1972 at 7:09 AM EST
	The 1979 gold album Regatta de Blanc topped the charts with its two loneliness-inspired singles—“Message in a Bottle” and “The Bed’s Too Big Without You”—and for one about not feeling the effects of gravity so much when in love: “Walking on the Moon.” It also, however, contained “Bring On the Night,” a song originally about Pontius Pilate, based on the late English poet Ted Hughes’ work, “King of Carrion.” (Another Hughes poem, “Truth Kills Everybody,” inspired Outlandos’ “Truth Hits Everybody.”) [From Rock & Holy Rollers: The Spiritual Beliefs of Chart-Topping Rock Stars in Their Lives and Lyrics by Geoffrey D. Falk.]

No Picture sY Average	#2 by sYsTem oWnS rOx at Jul 18, 1979 at 8:29 PM EST
	For me, Reggatta De Blanc is also a great example of how an album cover is able to fit in the general mood of the record. The grim, bluish overtones of the (rather simplistic) cover immediately remind one both of the 'night' ('Bring On The...') and of the 'moon' ('Walking On The...'). This is not a depressing or a morose record at all, yet it always gives the feeling of something slightly otherworldly - and yet it is not exactly sci-fi rock. The Police certainly take off, but they don't go very far - they're not Syd Barrett and they're not even Brian Eno. They are floating in mid-air, waving their hands (and drumsticks) at you, inviting you to take a walk on the moon or something like that. And the major highlights of the album make even the simpler and more realistic songs on here acquire that 'mystical bluish tint'. [George Starostin]

No Picture Dakota Average	#3 by Dakota Keyes at Dec 29, 1984 at 9:54 AM EST
	This could be taken literally, or it could be a metaphor. The metaphorical sense would be when you have this strange desire for things to go wrong. Some people because they're masochistic, some want pity, some feel more alive. Great song for riding through the Pine Barrens on a November night.

No Picture sephiroth Average	#4 by sephiroth at Jan 20, 1990 at 9:34 AM EST
	I think the guy in the song is secretly cracking up and wants the night to come on so he can drop his mask and lie in bed worrying himself to death. Andy Summers is amazing on this song.
