Sting
SHAPE OF MY HEART (4:38)
Ten Summoners Tales (1993, A & M)
#File created w/Instab-http://people.mn.mediaone.net/sccarey/instab.html#

Thanks to Jerome Olivier for his version of this beautiful song, from which
I based my transcription. The 9-14 and 7-13 spannings (tone sounds more
accurate to my ears) seem a bit challenging at first, but with practice
they become routine. I minimized the lyrical content per OLGA's new rules.
Corrections & comments are always welcomed. Hope you
all enjoy it, Gehan Cheung <gehanc@hotmail.com>
