Mark Knopfler - Get Lucky

another user did a pretty good job of tabbing this song , but i found that a few of his
notes were off . the key is to keep the bass line with your thumb during the intro . sorry
for the messy tab , it’s my first one .

capo : 4

( ) indicates a ghost note , or a note that is played quieter than the others . listen to
the song for the exact rhythm on the intro .
