Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
Song notes: This song is played in 6/8 time (eighth note 142bpm). These are the basic chords. The rhythm guitar on the recording plays capo 2, so you will have to TRANSPOSE these chords if you're deadset on playing identical to the recording, i.e. E becomes D, and so on. If you're interested in figuring out the lead part (the resonator guitar part) Knopfler tunes his guitar to open G (and then UP a half step, so really it's open G#) and places a capo at the 8th fret. But, if you just want to strum and sing this beautiful song, these chords will get you there. [Intro] ||: E | B | A | E :|| [Verse 1]
