The Police – De Do Do Do De Da Da Da tab

De Do Do Do De Da Da Da
The Police
Zenyatta Mondata 1980


This song is about the way 'upper class' people
use words to confuse and manipulate people.
The chords are easier than they look.

A          F#m    C#m
Don't think me unkind
A         F#m      C#m
Words are hard to find
A             F#m                C#m
They're only cheques I've left unsigned
A                  F#m         C#m
From the banks of chaos in my mind
D                          E
And when their eloquence escapes me
D                          E        D
Their logic ties me up and rapes me


  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
   Eadd9                    D
Is all I want to say to you
  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
      Eadd9                          D
Their innocence will pull me through
  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
   Eadd9                    D
Is all I want to say to you
  Aadd9        E7sus4/A
De do do do de da da da
        Eadd9                           D
They're meaningless and all that's true



Poets, priests and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
And no-one's jamming their transmission
'Cos when their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you



De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true

De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true
