The whole riff is played on the top four strings
(E -highest, B-2nd string, D-4rd String). It's based on E and goes like:
Play all notes in a moderately fast 16th note pattern(finger-picked!!) - If you
could play this with a pick you shouldn't be reading this, comprende!!

This is the actual way sting plays it!! When played correctly, you too can turn a
few heads!

...the young boy stood looking up the road to the future.In the distance both
sides appeared to converge together."That is due to perspective,when you reach
there the road is as wide as it is here",said an old wise man.The young boy set
off on the road,but,as he went on,both sides of the road converged until he
could go no further.He returned to ask the old man what to do,
but the old man was dead. (sm) Conor Hogan steely@maths.tcd.ie

Most of this song has one riff going along throughout the verses, then
it changes to a few chords for the chorus.
Simple stuff, but very good !

I havn't written any 'slide' symbols, but obviously you're moving pretty
much the same shape up and down, so you get some of the notes sliding up
and down - like when you change from the 5th fret to the 12th.
This pattern repeats for the verses, then goes into:
Chorus :
--------
(Hit the chords on the offbeat : 1 AND 2 AND 3 AND 4 AND etc)
E-----7---7---7---7-------9---9---9---9---------12--12--12--12---------

Repeat sequence once.
That's about it !
