Subject: Chords: Angel Of Mercy by Dire Straits
Angel of Mercy, written by Mark Knopfler, performed by Dire Straits
The song can be found on the album "Communiqué"
I think that this is a really great song, but it's not one of their
most famous hits. Anyway, hope this helps.
Verse 1
-------
E D C
Well there's a Peter Pan moon, shepherd's delight
E D C
I got the dragon at noon, yes and I won the fight

Now I want my reward, in heaven tonight

E D C
Let the saxophone play us 'til the chorus of dawn

And you don't need protection

Don't need rejection, yeah

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DIRE STRAITS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
