Lockdown Licks no. 48

“Roxanne” by The Police.

Chord progression intro.

Played on a “Butterscotch Blonde” Telecaster with bridge pick up selected, volume on 8, tone 7. NUX Mighty 8 Amp set on ‘clean’ with a little reverb. First word sung, couldn’t resist!

Original played by Andy Sumner.

“Roxanne” is a song by English rock band The Police. The song was written by lead singer and bassist Sting and was released in April 1978 as a single from their debut album “Outlandos d’Amour”. It was written from the point of view of a man who falls in love with a prostitute. On re-release in 1979, the song peaked at No. 12 on the UK Singles Chart.
