Next To You - The Police
The intro (and after each line in the verse) is series of quick double hits of the D, A
E chords. I marked this as D-D-A-A-E-E. These sound fine as open chords. While the
is sung, you can strum the top three strings of an E chord. For the chorus, play C#m, D
E as barre chords. Right after the chorus, Andy Summers does a barre chord slide from
to E three times - denoted as D/E. This part ain't easy! - stodman
