Seven Days - Sting from the album "Ten Summoner's Tales"
Transcription by Luis Ferreira
(If you want to give that cool sound of the beginning of the song, just
pull the A string alone and then the D, G and B strings simultaneously,
and immediately mute them with your palm, or whatever. But if you want
to do this, I guess it all sounds better with barre (whatever) chords,
otherwise the strings will ring too much...)
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7"Seven days" was all she wrote
A kEbind of ultiBbmatum note
She gGave to me, she gFave to meFadd9  
Cmaj7When I thought the field had cleared
It sEbeems another sBbuit appeared
To chGallenge me, Eadd9woe is me
TCmaj7hough I hate to make a choice
My oEbptions are decBbreasing mostly rGapidly
WFell, we'll seeFadd9  
Cmaj7I don't think she'd bluff this time
I rEbeally have to mBbake her mine
It's pGlain to see
It's hEim or meE7  
[Chorus]
MFmaj7onday, F#m7b5I could wait till GTuesday
If E7/G#I make up my mAmind
WFmaj7ednesday would be fGine, TE7/G#hursday's on my mAmind
C7/BbFriday give me tAmime, SC7/Bbaturday could Amwait
But SFmunday'd be too lCmaj7ate
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7The fact he's over six feet ten
Might Ebinstill fear in oBbther men
But nGot in me, The MFighty Flea (flee?)Fadd9  
Cmaj7Ask if I am mouse or man
The mEbirror squeaked, aBbway I ran
He'll mGurder me in tEadd9ime for his tea
Cmaj7Does it bother me at all
My rEbival is NeBbanderthal, it mGakes me think
PerFhaps I need a drinkFadd9  
Cmaj7IQ is no problem here
We Ebwon't be playing scBbrabble for her hGand I fear
I nEeed that beerE7  
[Chorus]
MFmaj7onday, F#m7b5I could wait till GTuesday
If E7/G#I make up my mAmind

C7/BbFriday give me tAmime, SC7/Bbaturday could Amwait
But SFmunday'd be too lCmaj7ate
[Bridge]
BbSeven days will qCmaj7uickly go
BbThe fact remains, I lCmaj7ove her so
BbSeven days, Fso many ways
BbBut I can't run Cmaj7away
[Chorus]
MFmaj7onday, F#m7b5I could wait till GTuesday
If E7/G#I make up my mAmind
WFmaj7ednesday would be fGine, TE7/G#hursday's on my mAmind
C7/BbFriday give me tAmime, SC7/Bbaturday could Amwait
But SFmunday'd be too lCmaj7ate
[Outro]
Do I hCmaj7ave to tell a story
Of a tBbhousand rainy days since we first Cmaj7metBb  
It's a Cmaj7big enough umbrella

The story behind the song
