Biography:
Dire Straits were a British rock band from Newcastle, United Kingdom, 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. The band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
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.

Bm A Bm
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 F#m 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 F#m 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 F#m 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 F#m 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
The same old fears and the same old crimes
Em A F#m Bm
We haven't changed since ancient times
It sounds allright if you just make some fingerplay between the verses and just
simplifies it doing the verses
My suggestion is something like this:
(left hand holds Bm - only right hand fingerplay, keep playing this over
when you shift the chords, it will sound allright)
