+-----2-------2-------2------2--+ Em riff (I'm unsure about this one, but
+-----2-------2-------2------2--+ it does the job. Its too hard to

+-------------------------------+
The song goes like this.
Intro:
B1 B1 B1 B1 B2 A
Verse:
B2 B2 B2 B2 A A B2 B2 B1
B2 B2 B2 B2 A A B2 B2 B1
B2 B2 B2 B2 A A B2 B3 B3 B2
Em Em Em Em A A A A B1 B1
Play the intro.
Play three verses, then play B1 four times.
Then play one more verse, then B1 four times.
Finally play another verse followed by B1 three times, then finish.
I hope thats right... There may be variations in the Bass notes or the extra
notes Mark drops in all the time.
The B1 bit is tricky - The idea in the second part of the bar is to get the
bass notes going along in the background to establish the rythm, while the
high strings give the notes that run over top of it. I can bearly hear the
rythm notes, so they may not be right.
Cheers... Mike
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.
