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.

DE These mist covered mountains ADA Are a home now for me F#mC#m But my home is the low lands DE And always will be F#mC#m Some day you'll return to DE Your valleys and your farms F#m And you'll no longer burn DEF#mDBmF#mBm To be brothers in arms
F#mDE Through these fields of destruction ADA Baptisms of fire F#mC#m I've witnessed your suffering DE As the battles raged higher F#mC#m And though we were hurt so bad DE In the fear and alarm F#m You did not desert me DEF#mDBmF#mBm My brothers in arms
F#mEF#mE There's so many different worlds DE So many different suns F#mE And we have just one world D But we live in different ones

DE Now the sun's gone to hell ADA And the moon's riding high F#mC#m Let me bid you farewell DE Every man has to die F#mC#m But it's written in the star light DE And every line on your palm F#m We're fools to make war DE On our brothers in arms
