DIRE STRAITS - "cannibals" Tablature
Official DIRE STRAITS Tablature & Sheet Music »
"CANNIBALS" by Mark Knopfler
from the album "Golden Heart"
transcribed by Michal Ludwiczak
=================================
Hello,
This song is pretty easy to play once you get the right feeling. The key is
to play the notes marked '^' a bit louder, making them more stand out and
at the same time play them staccato (make them short, distinguished from the
next played note). That's about it. Listen to the recording to get the idea
of what I mean.
Intro and chorus (repeat this pattern as many times as needed):

That's about it. Hope you spend many hours playing!

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.
