Biography:
Dire Straits were a British rock band from Newcastle, United Kingdom, formed in 1977 by Mark Knopfler (guitar and vocals), his brother David Knopfler (guitar), John Illsley (bass), and Pick Withers (drums), and subsequently managed by Ed Bicknell. The band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late '70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped down, they owed little to punk.

Cannibals
E - - A E - C#m B E x2
E
Well he's daddy's little boy, he plays with his toys
A
He holds on to his daddy's hand
B
His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy,
E
You're gonna be a big strong man
And they go play catch, go play ball
A
Go take a walk along the sand
B
Big strong daddy and a big strong boy
E
Living in a big strong land

Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m B E

E
Down in Louisiana theres a hurricane coming
A
The little boy climbs the stairs
B
And all along the levee all the people come running
E
And the little boys saying his prayers
And a sleepy little laddie smiles up at his daddy
A
And he's asking for his G.I. Joe
B
And daddy tucks him in with a kiss upon the chin
E
And says my little one I love you so
E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
A
Leave a light outside the door
E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m B E
now there are no cannibals anymore
SOLO * * *
E
Lay down your head now dont get out of bed
A
Dont you let the bedbugs bite
B
It's time to go to sleep now not another peep
E
And Ill see you in the morning light
And then the radio was playing and the weatherman was saying
A
The hurricane had blown away
B
And daddys little boy was jumping up for joy
E
And he was singing at the break of day
E
Daddy, is he a goodie or a baddie
A
Daddy can I be a warrior
E
Once upon a time there were cannibals
C#m B E
now there are no cannibals anymore
