- 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

- **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
