Here is a nice little version of one of my favourite Police songs.
In this TAB version, the solo might not be right as I can't see it in my head
at the moment.
In the solo, the ^ indicates a slide from 13th to 15th and back.
So sit back, relax, turn the music up loud and enjoy.
OMEGAMAN by THE POLICE from the album GHOST IN THE MACHINE

**lyrics**
**1st verse**
Night came down jungle sounds were in my ears
City screams are all I've heard in twenty years
The razor's edge of night it cuts into my sleep
I sit apon the edge now shall I make that leap?
**chorus**
I'm the omegaman
I'm the omegaman
The omegaman
I'm the omegaman
I'm the omegaman
Always talking to myself
**2nd verse**
Skys alive with turned on television sets
I walk the streets and seek another vision yet
The echo makes me turn to see the last frontier
The edge of time closes down as I disappear
**repeat chorus**
**3rd verse**
Times that's best is when surroundings fade away
The presence of another world comes close to me
It's time for me to throw away this paper knife
I'm not alone in reaching for a perfect life
**repeat chorus**
**outro**
(I'm so tired)
I'm the omegaman
repeat until fade.
Hope this helps someone who enjoys The Police and Andy Summers as much as I Do.
If anyone has any of STINGS songs, I would love them expecially FORTRACE
AROUND YOUR HEAT. Please e-mail me.
IF NO ONE COMPLAINS ABOUT YOUR MUSIC, THEN YOU'RE NOT
PLAYING IT LOUD ENOUGH.
