Mark Freuder Knopfler, OBE (born 12 August 1949) is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, record producer and film score composer. He was the lead guitarist, lead singer, and songwriter for the rock band Dire Straits, which he co-founded with his younger brother, David Knopfler, in 1977.

Key: B Major Time: 4/4
To play without capo hit transpose button to +4 (not recommended, buy a capo!).
As it often happens with mainly piano songs, chord voicings are quite varied. Some guitar chords are crucial, though, and played through the song identically. Basically, you can always simplify fancy chords to first letter (e.g. Cadd9 to C).
CAPO: 4
