             The Night the Pugilist Learned How to Dance - Sting
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Andrei

This is based on Sting's performance on the Tonight Show. It's a shortened version
of the original (missing two verses), but it sounded so good I wanted to give
it a shot. The missing two verses are played the same, so you can always just look
up the lyrics.)
If you want to reference this performance, search the web for "Sting serenades
Jimmy Fallon" from May 2015
 
Tuning: Standard tuning (CAPO ON 2nd FRET if you want to play like Sting does)
 
Play it like a waltz. :)
 
The guitar repeats on the different verses, but I've included the whole song here
so you can play along with the lyrics.

(I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO FIGURE OUT THE CHORDS FOR THE END... ANYONE WANT TO HELP?)
In a bout where the strategist's bridges were burned,
Where it seemed that his fortune had suddenly turned,
'Twas the night that this scrapper was suddenly dapper,
And this poor fellow's heart was still going like the clappers,
The night that the pugilist finally learned how to dance.

Thank you! This is greatly appreciated. Could you possibly make tabs for other songs from this album? I have been listening to it (frequently) for two years now, and I think the songs in it are just right for a barely intermediate guitar player such as myself. Best regards.
good start on this cool Sting song. I did work thru the rest of the song and just posted another tab...thanks for getting me started on this lovely tune.
