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

[Verse] D High and dry in the long hot day, D lost and lonely in every way Am Got the flats all around me, sky up above, D yes, I need a little water of love
D I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain, D crying out for some soothing rain Am I believe I've taken enough, D yes I need a little water of love
[Chorus] Am Water of love deep in the ground, GD but there ain’t no water here to be found Am Some day baby when the river runs free, GD It's gonna carry that water of love to me
[Solo] DCGAmC
[Verse] CD There's a bird up in a tree, D sitting up high, just a-waitin' for me to die AmCAm If I don't get some water soon, D I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon
[Chorus] Am Water of love deep in the ground, GD but there ain’t no water here to be found Am Some day baby when the river runs free, GD It's gonna carry that water of love to me
[Solo] DCGAmC
[Verse] D Once I had a woman I could call my own, D Once I had a woman, now my woman she gone Am Once there was a river, now there's a stone D You know it's evil when you're living alone
[Chorus] Am Water of love deep in the ground, GD but there ain’t no water here to be found Am Some day baby when the river runs free, GD It's gonna carry that water of love to me
