The intro - if you want to play one (Dominic plays an intro, Sting not on the acoustic version) - is something like this: e|----0-------------9---------------11---------- B|------4---4---------10---------------12------- G|--------4--------------9--9^11----------11^13- D|----------------0----------------------------- A|--2-----------------------------11------------ E|---------------------------------------------- -5-------0-----0---------9-------------11----------- ---5-------4-----4---------10-------------12-------- -----4-------4----------------9-11-----------11-13-- -----------------------0---------------------------- ------------------------------------11-------------- ---------------------------------------------------- ----11------------------------------------------------------------ -------12--------------------------------------------------------- ----------11-13--------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ --11-------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Verse/Chorus: How many of you people ... hurt in some kind ... | B B | Em Em | e|--------------------------------|------------------------------| B|--------4----------------4------|--------0-------------0-------| G|------4---4------------4---4----|------0---0---------0---0-----| D|----4-------4--------4-------4--|----2-------0-----2-------2---| A|--2----------------2------------|------------------------------| E|--------------------------------|--0-------------0-------------| How many ... swear ... never love again. | A Asus2 | B B | e|--------------------------------|------------------------------| B|--------3----------------0------|--------4-------------4-------| G|------3---3------------3---3----|------4---4---------4---4-----| D|----3-------3--------3-------3--|----4-------4-----4-------4---| A|--0----------------0------------|--2-------------2-------------| E|--------------------------------|------------------------------| To get a feeling for the picking it might be helpful to sing "du-e-de du-e-de ..." like Sting did when he performed "Brand New Day" at the Letterman Show. Now, turn your hands to zero honey, let's starting up a brand new song ! Martin ;-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brand New Day transcribed by Fernando Duran Soto B How many of you people out there, Bm Been hurt in some kind of love affair? A And how many times did you swear B That you'd never love again? How many lonely, sleepless nights? Bm How many lies, how many fights? A And why would you want to put yourself B through all of that again? B Love is pain I hear you say Bm Love is a cruel and bitter way of A B Paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain How could it be that what you need the most Bm Can leave you feeling just like a ghost? A B You never want to feel so sad and lost again. B One day you could be looking A Through an old book in rainy weather B You see a picture of her smiling at you A When you were still together B You could be walking down the street A And who should you chance to meet? B But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day? B Why don't we turn the clock to zero honey? Bm I'll sell the stock we'll spend all the money A B We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock all the way back Bm I wonder if she'll take me back A I'm thinking in a brand new way B Turn the clock to zero sister Bm You'll never know how much I missed her A B Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero boss Bm The rivers wide we'll swim across A B We're starting up a brand new day B It could happen to you Bm Just like it happened to me A There is simply no immunity There's no guarantee B Bm I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it A You need some time for reflection You say, baby wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute Wait a minute, wait a minute B Turn the clock to zero honey Bm I'll sell the stock we'll spend all the money A B We're starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero Mac Bm I'm begging her to take me back A B I'm thinking in a brand new way B Turn the clock to zero boss Bm The rivers wide we'll swim across A B Starting up a brand new day Turn the clock to zero buddy Bm Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy A B We're Starting up a brand new day B I'm the rhythm in your tune Bm I'm the sun and you're the moon A I'm the bat and you're the cave B You're the beach and I'm the wave I'm the plough and you're the land Bm You're the glove and I'm the hand A I'm the train and you're the station B I'm the flagpole to your nation B/Bm/A/ (2x) B I'm the present to your future Bm You're the wound and I'm the suture A You're the magnet to my pole B I'm the devil in your soul You're the pupil I'm the teacher Bm You're the church and I'm the preacher A You're the flower I'm the rain B You're the tunnel I'm the train Bm Stand up, all you lovers in the world A B Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl Bm Stand up, all you lovers in the world A B We're starting up a brand new day B You're the crop to my rotation Bm You're the sum of my equation A I'm the answer to your question B If you follow my suggestion We could turn this ship around Bm And go up instead of down A You're the pan and I'm the handle B You're the flame and I'm the candle Bm Stand up, all you lovers in the world A B Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl Bm Stand up, all you lovers in the world A B Starting up a brand new day...
