Its not Eb, Its E tuned down quarter step but very accurate tab +1
In his memoirs „One Train Later, page 421, Andy Summers describes the structure of this song like this“Root, Fifth, Second, Third, Up and Down, for every chord.“ This seems to be the case here with the Add9 and the F#m add9 for example. With the Dadd9/Dsus2 and the Eadd9 however, this is alread another chord structure. Maybe I don‘t get it or Andy has simplified in his memoirs. Anyway, great tab!
