OK, here it goes. I´ve been working for a couple of weeks trying to make
sense of this wonderful song (especially the middle section!).
I have not found any correct tabs/chords on the Internet.
I have transposed it so that it is playable and singable
for us immortals (if you´re not Sting of course :-)
If you want to sing along with Sting, put the capo on the 3rd fret.
Good luck!

TOMORROW WE´LL SEE (Sting, 1999)
(Singing starts at E and goes right up to B)
(The beginning is much the same as the middle 8
i.E. move notes downward from C#-C-B-Bb-G-F-E-D-C-B)
0x2022 Clarinet: x1x122 x2x233 / /
/ / 2x2200 / [Em(maj9)] 0x2002 / [Em(maj9)] /
(Bass begin: B, D (open string), B...use your second finger on the 2nd fret of the 2nd string
from the top, keep it there for both these chords throughout the song)

022022 The streets are wet, the [B7aug(b9)] x21213 lights have yet
to shed their darkened luster on the [B7aug(b9)] scene.
My skirt's too short, my tights [B7aug(b9)] have run,
these new heels are killing me.
My second pack of cigarettes, it's a [B7aug(b9)] slow night, but there's time yet.
Here comes john from his other life, he [B7aug(b9)] may be driving to his wife.
But he´ll slow down, take a look, I've [B7aug(b9)] learned to read them just like books.
It's already half past ten, but they'll be back again.
Head lights in the rainy street, I [B7aug(b9)] check, make sure it's not the heat.
I wink, I smile, I wave my hand. He [B7aug(b9)] stops, he seems to understand
a small transaction we must make, I [B7aug(b9)] tell him that my heart will break if he's
not a generous man, I step into his van.
They say the first's the hardest trick, and [B7aug(b9)] after that it's
just a matter of logic.
They have the money I have the time, [B7aug(b9)] being pretty's my only crime.
You ask what future do I see, I [B7aug(b9)] say it's really up to me
I don't need forgiving, I'm just making a living.
Chorus: Don't judge me, you could be me in another life,
in 022032 another set of circumstances.
Don't judge me, one more night ,
I'll just have x2100x to take my chances,
[B7aug(b9)] and tomorrow we'll see.
Solo: [B7aug(B9)] / / [B7aug(B9)] / / / (no third)
Violins going down: A, G, F#, E, D, C
A x53453 friend of mine he wound up dead,
his xx0x47 dress was xx0x46 stained the xx0x35 colour xx0x33 red.
No xxxx22 next of xxxx02 kin, no xxx3x2 fixed xxx0x2 abode,
xx345x another xx343x victim xx123x on this xx121x road.
The police just carted him away, but x02013 someone took his place next day.
Home by Thanksgiving, but not with the living.
Chorus: Don't judge me, you could be me in another life,
in 022032 another set of circumstances.
Don't judge me, one more night ,
I'll just have x2100x to take my chances,
[B7aug(b9)] And no it's just not in my plan for
someone to [F#m7(b5)] 2x110x care who I [B7aug(B9)] Am.
(Here Sting starts playing 1/2 step up , but I don´t...sue me)
I walk in the streets for [B7aug(b9)] money,
it's the business of love, hey [B7aug(b9)] honey, come on!
Don't leave me lonely, [B7aug(b9)] don't leave me sad,
I'll be the sweetest five minutes you'll ever have.
Chorus: Don't judge me, you could be me in another life,
in 022032 another set of circumstances.
Don't judge me, one more night ,
I'll just have x2100x to take my chances,
[B7aug(b9)] and tomorrow we'll see.
