dire straits *

Dm F C
getting crazy on the waltzers , but it’s the life that i choose
G Dm
sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tatoo
F
and i’ve been riding on a ghost train
C
where the cars they scream and slam
G Dm
and i don’t know where i’ll be tonight but i’d always tell you where i Am
F
in a screaming ring of faces
C
i see her standing in the light
G Dm
she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night
F
i put my hand upon the lever
C
said let it rock and let it roll
G Dm
i had the one arm bandit fever was an arrow through my heart and my soul

A# C
and the big wheels keep on turning
F A#
neon burning , up above
F
and i Am high on the world

Dm F C
it’s just the danger , when you’re riding at your own risk
G Dm

G Dm

Dm F C
she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
G
she put her hand in my pocket ,
Dm
i got a keepsake and a kiss
F
and in the roar of dust and diesel ,
C
i stood and watched her walk away
G Dm
i could have caught up with her easy enough , but something must have made me stay

and now i’m searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Gm A#
searching everywhere from steeplechase and palisades
Gm A#
in any shooting gallery where promises are made ,
C C
to rock away rock away from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
