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.

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
Bb C
And the big wheels keep on turning
F Bb
neon burning up above
F
And I am high on the world
C Dm Bb
come on take a low ride with me girl
Dm C Dm Bb
On the tunnel of love
Dm F C
It's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk
G Dm
She said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this
F
It's just a cakewalk
C
twisting baby step right up and say
G Dm
Hey mister give me two give me two because any two can play
Bb C
And the big wheels keep on turning
F Bb
neon burning up above
F
And I am high on the world
C Dm Bb
come on take a low ride with me girl
Dm C Dm Bb
On the tunnel of love
Gm Bb
Well it's been money for muscle another whirligig
Gm Bb
Money for muscle another girl I dig
Gm Bb
Another hustle just to make it big
C
and rock away rock away
F C/Dm
And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
C F/Bb C
Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
F C Dm Bb C F Bb C (2x) Dm C Dm Bb
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
Bb C
And the big wheels keep on turning
F Bb
neon burning up above
F
And I am high on the world
C Dm Bb
come on take a low ride with me girl
Dm C Dm Bb
On the tunnel of love
Dm C Dm Bb
On the tunnel of love
Gm Bb
And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Gm Bb
Searching everywhere from steeplechase and palisades
Gm Bb
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
C C
To rock away rock away from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway
F C/Dm
And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
C F/Bb C
Like the Spanish city to me when we were kids
F C/Dm
And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
