Sultans Of Swing - The Very Best Of Dire Straits

Dire Straits were a british rock band, formed in 1977 by Mark Knopfler (guitar and vocals), his brother David Knopfler (guitar), John Illsley (bass), and Pick Withers (drums), and subsequently managed by Ed Bicknell. Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late '70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped down, they owed little to punk. If anything, the band was a direct outgrowth of the roots revivalism of pub rock, but where pub rock celebrated good times, Dire Straits were melancholy.

With all the clarity of dream
                  A           Bm
The sky so blue, the grass so green
Bm                        A     Bm
The rank and file and the navy blue
Em                       A                   Bm
The deep and strong, the straight and true

Bm                  A            Bm
The blue line they got the given sign
                           A          Bm
The belts and boots march forward in time
Bm                   A            Bm
The wood and leather the club and shield
Em                A                        Bm
Swept like a wave across the battlefield

Bm                    A      Bm
Now with all the clarity of dream
                  A             Bm
The blood so red, the grass so green
                     A        Bm
The gleam of spur on chestnut flank
Em              A                      Bm
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks

Bm                   A        Bm
Oh the iron will and iron hand
                   A            Bm
In england's green and pleasant land
                  A       Bm
No music for the shameful scene
Em                          A                        Bm
That night they said it had even shocked the queen

Bm                       A      Bm
Well alas we've seen it all before
Bm                 A       Bm
Knights in armour, days of yore
Bm                          A          Bm

We haven't changed since ancient times

Youve gotta be on somebodys books

F    C         G               Esus4
The lowdown a picture of youre face

Am              Em
Youre injured looks

F                C
The sacred and profane

F                    C    G
The pleasure and the pain

C                   G          Am      Em
Somewhere youre fingerprints remain concrete

     Dm                 Bb     
And its youre face im looking for

C
On every street





   F   C            G         C
A ladykiller - regulation tattoo

 Am      G           C 
Silver spurs on his heels

        F         C               G               Esus4
says - what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you
 
      Am                    Em
she threw herself under my wheels

F                    C
oh it's a dangerous road

F                C   G
and a hazardous load

         C              G         Am         Em
and the fireworks over liberty expode in the heat

     Dm                 Bb     
And its youre face im looking for

C
On every street


   F          C         G           C
A three-cord symphony crashes into space

The moon is hanging upside down

F             C             G          Esus4
I don't know why it is I'm still on the case
 
Am                 Em
Oh it's a ravenous town

F                           C
And you still refuse to be traced

F                  C       G
seems to me such a waste

    C      G             Am           Em
And every victory has a taste that's bittersweet

     Dm                 Bb     
And its youre face im looking for

C
On every street

&quot;Brothers in Arms&quot; is a 1985 song by Dire Straits, appearing as the last track on the album of the same name. It is in G# minor. It peaked at #16 in the UK. There are actually two studio recorded versions of this song: the album version which is 6:58 seconds, and the shorter version which is 6:05 seconds and features slightly different (and shorter) solos at the beginning and end of the song. The version that appears on Dire Straits' greatest hits album, The Very Best of Dire Straits, is 4:55. The On The Night-version contains an extra slide guitar-solo and is 8:55 seconds. 

&quot;Money for Nothing&quot; is a song by British group Dire Straits, which first appeared on their 1985 album Brothers in Arms and subsequently became an international hit when released as a single. It peaked at number one for three weeks in the U.S., becoming their most successful single. In the band's native UK, the song peaked at number 4.   According to the Money For Nothing Songfacts, this song is about rock star excess and the easy life it brings compared with real work.

&quot;Romeo and Juliet&quot; is a song by the British rock band Dire Straits, recorded in 1980. It first appeared on the album Making Movies and then on the live albums Alchemy and On the Night. It was released as a single in 1981. The song was written by Dire Straits singer and lead guitarist Mark Knopfler. The song opens on an arpeggiated resonator guitar part played by Knopfler, who also sings the lead vocal. The instrumentation remains simple during the verses and moves to a full-on rock arrangement in the chorus sections. 

&quot;Sultans of Swing&quot; was the first single release of the British rock band <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Dire+Straits" class="bbcode_artist">Dire Straits</a>.  It was first recorded as a demo at Pathway Studios, North London, and quickly acquired a following after it was put in the rotation at Radio London. It did not take long for the popularity to find its way to record executives, and <a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Dire+Straits" class="bbcode_artist">Dire Straits</a> were offered a contract with Phonogram, a British record company. The song was then re-recorded and released in both the United Kingdom and the United States, though the demo version remained on the original UK Vertigo single.

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Reflexionando en esto,
C5
la madrugada pasó,
B5 / Am / G5 / F5# / Em
y dejó otro día para ser.
