One World - Dire Straits

Tuning: Standard
Great song by Dire Straits, with a lot of guitar riffs on a metal kind of sound.
The riffs after each line are played after he sings each line. You can play the
riffs or the chords.
I credit the chords to the user lakesound.
It will take some listening to the song to get the right timing and so forth.
