Ok, this is the 2nd tab of this song ive dun, cos the other one wos just chords
and wos probably a bit confusing when it comes to the timing + parts of it were
wrong, for which i appologise, but this one is pretty much as close as i can
get it.
Mark Knopfler actualy has a capo on the 3rd fret, and plays all the low chords further up the fret board on lower strings so he does not have to move his hand up and down the fret baord as much, however to have to play it almost completely differently and i find it harder to play that way, so i jsut stick to playing it without a capo.
