Dire Straits - Your Latest Trick Chords & Tabs

Your Latest Trick by Dire Straits from Brothers In Arms album
For any questions mail me to fffoma@gmail.com


This is a chords for album version of the song. Please note that live version contains
exact same verses, but on album part of verses alternates between [B-C#m-B-C#] and
[B-C#m-B/D#-C#/F] all three times. Live version also have [E-F#m] progression after 'All 
I can do' instead of [E/G#-A]. Note suspended chords in the intro, you can simplify it 
to B and
B/A or play it like sus in the song too.

Also I checked tones of tabs and chords and even official books and paid sheet music are
wrong. The most 'jazzy chord' in the song is just D9. And note the incredible G#7#9
just before outro solo, it was played both on album and live. It just breathtaking. Good luck!

         E                                    F#m
All the late night bargains have been struck
             B          C#m        B      C#  F#m
Between the satin beaus and their belles

Prehistoric garbage trucks
          D9                 E
Have the city to themselves
                             F#m
Echoes and roars, dinosaurs
             B         C#m     B/D#  [ch]C#/F[/ch]
They're all doing the monster mash
     F#m
And most of the taxis, most of the whores
    D9
Are only taking calls for cash
