Dire Straits:- Down To The Waterline

Key Bm:

G / Bm / G / Bm


Bm       F#m   A        E7      Bm      
Sweet surrender on the quay side
Bm      F#m    A        E7         Bm
You remember we used to run and hide
        Bm                   F#m                          
In the shadows of cargoes, I take you on time, 
A                     (D)-E     
Counting all the numbers 
                  Bm
Down to the waterline

Near misses on the dogleap stairways
French kisses in the darkened doorways
Foghorn blowing out wild and cold
A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder

Lead 1  G / Bm / G / A / Bm

Up comes a coaster, fast and silent through the night
Over my shoulder, all you can see are pilot lights
No money in our jackets and jeans are torn
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

        G / Bm / G / A -

solo:   E / C#m / C
        G / C       (?)
        D / A
        F# / G / A / Bm

she can see you in the jetty where you used to go
she can see you in the places where the sailors go
when she's walking down the river on the railway line
she can still hear you whisper
Lets go down to the water line

come on.

D

D

In The Gallery

Key: Am  or (A#m on the record)

Intro: drums and guitar                                      0.5  0.5 1.0
Am                         D  Am                   D  - Am    Am - C - D 
Harry made a bareback rider     proud and free upon a horse 0.5  0.5 0.5
Am                    D                       D  - Am       Am - C - D
  And a fine coalminer      for the NCB that was

(repeat chord sequence ahead....)

A fallen angel and Jesus on the cross
A skating ballerina you should have seen her do the skater's waltz

Some people have got to paint and draw
Harry had to work iin clay and stone
Like the waves coming to the shore
It was in his blood and in his bones
Ignored by all the trendy boys in London and in Leeds

        Am                                 D - G - C                    G     
CHORUS: He might as well have been making toys         or strings of beads
             C       C                 G      C slide D      
        He could'nt be...   He could'nt be.....         in the gallery

And then you get an artist says he doesn't want to paint at all
He takes an empty canvas and sticks it on the wall
The birds of a feather all the phonies and all of the fakes
While the dealers they get together
And they decide who gets the breaks
And who's going to be in the gallery

Solo: Follow 1 verse chord pattern
      and then do the chorus
 
No lies he wouldn't compromise
No junk no bits of string
And all the lies we subsidise
That just don't mean a thing
I've got to say he passed away in obscurity
And now all the vultures are coming down from the tree
So he's going to be in the gallery

(keep chord sequence going
ie Am - D.C / Am - D.C)

	A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
	F                C Dm             C           Bb 
	Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
        C                         Bb C            F                     
	Finds a street light steps out into the shade
	        Bb                           C  
	Says something like you and me babe, how about it?   
	F                          C Dm                        C F	
	Juliet says hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack
	F                         C Dm                          C Bb
	He's underneath the window, she's singing hey la my boyfriends back
	C                           Bb  C                        F  
	you shouldn't come around here singing up to people like that
	 Bb                        C                  
	Anyway, what you gonna do about it?

Chorus I:
	F      C             Dm C             Bb
	Juliet the dice was loaded from the start
	F      C             Dm C             Bb 	
	And I bet, and you exploded in my heart.
	F      C             Dm              Bb 
	And I forget, I forget, the movie song
	Gm                                  F        Bb    C     Dm  C  F
	When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong  Juliet?
 

Verse II:
	Come up on different streets, they both the streets of shame
	Both dirty both mean, yes and even and dream was just the same
	And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real.
	How can you look at me as if I was just another part of your deal

	Well you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold.
	you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
	You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin yeah
	Now you just say oh Romeo yeah, I used to have a scene with him.

Chorus II:
	Juliet when we made love you used to cry
	you said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
	There's a place for us, you know the movie song
	When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

Verse III:
	I can't do the talk, like they talk on the tv
	I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.
	I can't do anything, but I'd do anything for you.
	I cant't do anything but be in love with you.

	And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
	All I do is keep the beat and bad company.
	All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
	Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime.

Repeat Chorus II:

Verse IV:
	A love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade.
	Now he's laying everymody low, with a love song that he made.
	Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
	Says something like you and me babe how about it

outro:
	Bb C  (as long as the lead player can do those tasty fills)
	


	p.s. A second guitarist playing in first position really fills this song
	out if you are not doing it with a full band.


Dire Straits:- Setting Me Up           Key A

-------------------


A 
You say I'm the greatest bound for glory
				  E  D
Well the word is out and I learned
A      
I got the latest side of the story
        G          D              A
You're pulling out before you get burned


Well your hands are squeezing me down to the bone
I never saw you breaking no law
Stands to reason I've got to leave you alone
What you take me for

	A                      D 
You're setting me up to put me down
        E                        A
You're making me out to be your clown
           A                        D
You're just setting me up to put me down
            E         
You better give it up
                        A
Quit your messing around


You think I care about your reaction
You think I don't understand
All you wanted was a piece of the action
Now you talk about another man

Dm           C       Bb        F
 Two in the morning bright uptown
Dm              C                 Bb - F
 The river run away in the night
Dm           C             Bb        F
 Little Gypsy mare she's all tied down
Dm               C                      Bb - F
 She put her in the wind and the light


(Same chords as above)

 Yeah, the sailing ship is just held down in chains
 From the lazy days of sailing
 She's just lying there silent in pain
 You lean on the tourist rail

Am                              Dm              Dm-C-Bb
 A mother and her baby in the college of war
                   C
 In the concrete grave
Dm                  C                 Bb         F
 You never want to fight against the river law
Gm                  Bb
 Nobody rules the waves

              C             A7           Dm
 Yeah, on a night when the lazy wind is wailing
Bb                   C
 Around the cutting saw
   Dm            C     Bb      F
 Single-handed sailor go sailing
Gm                          Bb
 Singing away in the dark

 He's up on the bridge on the self-say night
 A mariner of dried-up land
 Two in the morning, well there's one green light
 And the man on the barge is sad

 She's gonna step away below him
 Away from things he's done
 But he just shouts, "Hey man whatcha call this thing?"
 She could say, "Pride of London"

 On a night when the lazy wind is wailing
 Around the cutting saw
 Yeah, single-handed sailor go sailing
 Singing away in the dark

Dire Straits:- Sultans Of Swing
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

Dmin                                            Cmaj               Bbmaj
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


Bbmaj  Dmin  Bbmaj-(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:

Bbmaj Dmin Bbmaj-slide-C
	                            We are the sultans
Bbmaj Dmim Bbmaj-slide- C	                               Dmin
		             we are the sultans of swing
Dmin Cmaj Bbmaj-slide-C      Dmin C  {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.

You remember we used to run and hide

Counting all the numbers

Down to the waterline

Near misses on the dogleap stairways
French kisses in the darkened doorways
Foghorn blowing out wild and cold
A policeman shines a light upon my shoulder

Lead 1  G / Bm / G / A / Bm

Up comes a coaster, fast and silent through the night
Over my shoulder, all you can see are pilot lights
No money in our jackets and jeans are torn
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

she can see you in the jetty where you used to go
she can see you in the places where the sailors go
when she's walking down the river on the railway line
she can still hear you whisper
Lets go down to the water line

come on.

You had no more volunteers, so you got profiteers for to help you out
Well with friends like that babe, good friends you had to do without,
And now they've taken the chains and the gears from off the old
merry-go-round,
It never rains around here, it just comes pouring down.

Now your new Romeo, he was just a gigolo, when he let you down,
See the faster the are babe, the faster they get out of town
Leaving make up stains and the tears of a clown,
And it never rains around here, it just come pouring down.

I saw you make a date with destiny,        when he came around here
asking after you

In the shadow of the Wheel of Fortune you're busy trying to clear your
name,
You say, "I may be guilty yeah, that may be true, but I'd be lying if I
said I was to blame"

See we could have been major contenders, we never got no money no breaks
You got a list of all the major offenders, you got a list of all their
major mistakes.

And he's just a-standing in the shadows and you smile that come-on smile
Oh and I can still hear you say as clear as the day, "I'd like to make
it worth your while."

Baby I see this world has made you sad
B7                 E
Some people can be bad
A               F#/A#               B      C#m7     B
The things they do, the things they say
    E    B7                               E
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
B7                             E
I'll chase away those restless fears
A              F#/A#           B     C#m7    B  
That turn your blue skies into grey

    E      A                    B         E    
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
A               B              E
There should be sunshine after rain
A                 B               E
These things have always been the same
A      B        E
So why worry now

Baby when I get down I turn to you
B7                           E
And you make sense of what I do
A         F#/A#         B    C#m7    B
I know it isn't hard to say
    E    B7                                      E
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
B7                             E
Our love comes shining red and gold
A           F#/A#          B    C#m7   B

Why don't you go get him - I'm his biggest fan

You gotta tell him - he's still the man

Long distance baby - So far from home

Don't you think maybe - you could put him on
