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.

AmFG These mist covered moun tains CFC Are a home now for me AmEm But my home is the low lands FG And always will be AmEm Some day you'll return to FG Your valleys and your farms Am And you'll no longer burn FGAmFG To be brothers in arms
[Verse 2]
AmFG Through these fields of destruct ion CFC Baptisms of fire AmEm I've watched all your suffering FG As the battles raged higher AmEm And though they did hurt me so bad FG In the fear and alarm Am You did not desert me FGAmFG To be brothers in arms
[Verse 3]
AmGAmG There's so many different worlds FG So many different suns AmGAmG And we have just one world FGF But we live in different ones
[Verse 4]
AmFG Now the sun's gone to hell CFC And the moon's riding high AmEm Let me bid you farewell FG Every man has to die AmEm But it's written in the star-light FG And every line on your palm Am We're fools to make war FG On our brothers in arms
