NOTE: This is NOT intended to represent the way
Andy Summers plays it, but it's a fuller sounding
chord version for accompaniment on an acoustic guitar.

(Will then sound in the recorded key of Dm)
I would recommend using the voicings in the text

The story behind the song

This reggae-infused song by The Police captures the feeling of being so in love that you feel weightless, as if relieved of gravity. The initial idea for the song came to Sting one night while he was a bit tipsy, singing "Walking 'round the room" to a new riff. He later connected this feeling to an early girlfriend, where the experience of love made him feel like he was "walking on the moon." It's a song that embodies the exhilarating, almost surreal joy of being deeply smitten.
