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.

It was the last day of summer

It was the first of a new romance

He said, 'baby let me teach you'
C
She said, 'o. K., when? '
D
He said, 'how can I reach you baby
C G
I'd really like to see you again'
G
He picked her up on a friday night
C
He took her for a bite to eat
D
His heart was beating and his hands were shaking
C G
She thought he was sweet
G
And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor
C
Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek
D
And he walked her home and he kissed her
C G
He was walking on air all week
G7
Well, they couldn't stand to be apart
C7
They couldn't leave one another alone
D7
Her mama used to say, 'it's getting late sweetheart
C7 G7
It's time that boy went home'

C7 G7
Let's wish 'em every happiness'
G C D C G
