Roxanne - The Police

Roxanne            [Instru] Dm C BbM7 Am

You don't have              Gm C Dm-X X

    to put on the red light

Those days are over - You don't have to

    sell your body to the night

Roxanne - You don't have to wear

    that dress tonight

Walk the streets for money - You don't

    care if it's wrong or if it's right


[Pre-Chorus] Gm C Dm Dm - Gm C Dm-X X-Gm

(Roxanne - You don't have to

     put on the red light x2)    [Intro]

                                   Dm Dm

[Chorus] F F-Bb C C - Dm   Dm-Gm

         F F-Bb C C - Dm-X X

(Roxanne, put on the red light x5), woh


I loved you since I knew ya      [Intro]

I wouldn't talk down to ya          (x2)

I have to tell you just how I feel

I won't share you with another boy

I know my mind is made up

So put away your make up    [Pre-Chorus]

Told you once, I won't      [Chorus

    tell you again              Part #1]

It's a bad way                     (x16)
