bad, the things ... say, but
The second half of the verse is roughly the same. The first line (E B7 E B7)
is slightly different, though the chords remain unchanged. Unfortunately I
can't remember these differences.

worry, there should ...
pain, there should ...
rain, these things ...
same, so why worry now, why worry now.
Hope I didn't make too many mistakes! I also hope that some other
people will post some more great Dire Straits tabs, especially from
their first 3 albums (the first one, Communique, Making movies).
We already have "Down to the waterline" and "Sultans of swing" at
Nevada, but I'd really love to see some more, like for instance :
- Once upon a time in the west
- Lady writer
- Hand in hand
- Expresso Love
