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.

Love Over Gold (Live)
Intro:Bb-C-Am-Dm-C | Bb-C-Am-Dm-C | Bb-C-Gm-Dm | Bb-C-Bb-C
F Bb C
There you walk out on the high wire
Bb F Bb
You're dancer on thin ice
F Bb C
You pay no heed to the danger
Am Dm C-F
And less to advice
F Bb C
Your footsteps are forbidden
Am Bb C-F
But with knowledge of your sin
C Bb F
You throw your love to all the strangers
Dm
And the caution to the wind
Interlude: A-G G-F Eb-D Eb-D Eb-D Eb-D-C-Bb A
F Bb C
And you go dancing through the doorways
Bb C F Bb
Just to see what you gonna find there
F Bb C
Leaving nothing to interfere
Am Dm F-Dm-C-F
With the crazy balance of your mind
F Bb C
And when you finally reappear
Am Bb C-F
At the place where you came in
F Bb Bb F
You've thrown your love to all the strangers
Dm
And the caution to the wind
Interlude: A-G G-F Eb-D Eb-D Eb-D Eb-D-C-Bb A
C
It takes love over gold
F Bb
And mind over matter
C Bb Dm
To do what you do that you must
C
When the things that you hold
Eb
Can fall and be shattered
C Dm
Or run through your fingers like dust
