Dire Straits foi uma banda britânica de rock formada em 1977 por Mark Knopfler (guitarra e vocais), seu irmão David Knopfler (guitarra), John Illsley (baixo) e Pick Withers (bateria). Embora formada em uma época em que o punk rock reinava absoluto, decidiram lidar com as convenções do rock clássico, firmando-se em uma sonoridade mais leve, que agradou ao público cansado do som superproduzido do rock dos anos 70. Não tardou para que a banda se tornasse conhecida mundialmente
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!

Dmin (5th posn) Cmaj (3rd pos) Bbmaj (1st pos) A7 (1st pos) You get a shiver in the dark, its raining in the park the meantime
DminCmajBbmaj A7 Sound of the river you can hear everything
Fmaj (1st pos) Cmaj (3p) A band is blowing dixie - double four time
Bbmaj (1p) Dmin (5p) You go inside when you hear the music play
BbmajDminBbmaj-(slide)-Cmaj (short fill)
The rest of the song continues with the same chord structure, but between some verses there is a long-fill/chorus which is:
BbmajDmin Bbmaj-slide-C We are the sultans Bbmaj Dmim Bbmaj-slide- CDmin we are the sultans of swing DminCmaj Bbmaj-slide-CDminC {repeat once}
Note -
The Bb-Dmin-Bbmaj-C part in the chorus can be quite tricky if the song is played at a fast tempo. One trick is just to play strings 2,3,4 (using the first finger for Bb and C). Then, the Dmin shape can be fingered on top of the C shape using fingers 2,3,4.
