The Police – Omegaman (Bass Tab)

Tabbed By: Belavista Man On: 16/06/07 Edited On: 08/11/10 E-mail: [email protected] For this bass tab, the bassline is simple, single notes. So I have put chord names over of lyrics, but (instead of chords) they represent bass notes.

   City screams...                ..twenty years.

For the "I'm the omegaman" parts, the bass plays ringing F bass notes every other bar. It would be First bar:F [rings through second bar] Third Bar:F [rings through fourth etc.) I think that's the best way for me to describe it, anyway. Here's the lyrics and notes: Intro: F Bb A The night came down, jungle sounds were in my ears Bb A City screams are all I’ve heard in twenty years Bb A The razor’s edge of night, it cuts into my sleep Bb I sit upon the edge now A Shall I make that leap? F F I’m the Omegaman F F I’m the Omegaman Bb A The sky’s alive with turned on television sets Bb A I walk the streets and seek another vision yet Bb A The echo makes me turn to see that last frontier Bb A The edge of time closes down as I disappear F F I’m the Omegaman F F I’m the Omegaman F F I’m the Omegaman F F I’m the Omegaman G Bb C Always talking to myself Oh! Solo: Same as verses (Bb A Bb A etc) Bb A The time that’s best is when surroundings fade away Bb A The presense of another world comes close to me Bb A It’s time for me to throw away this paper knife Bb A I’m not alone in reaching for a perfect life F F I’m the Omegaman F F I’m the Omegaman F F I’m the Omegaman F F I’m the Omegaman
