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 | Bb C |
[Verse 1]
Bb C Dm
Getting crazy on the waltzers
F C
but it's the life that I choose
G F C
sing about the six blade sing about the switchback
Dm
and a torture tattoo
C Dm
and I've been riding on a ghost train
F C
where the cars they scream and slam
G G7
and I don't know where I'll be tonight
F G Dm
but I'd always tell you where I am
[Verse 2]
C Dm
In a screaming ring of faces
F C
I've seen her standing in the light
G
she had a ticket for the races
F G Dm
yeah just like me she was a victim of the night
C Dm
I put a hand upon the lever
F C
said let it rock and let it roll
G F G
I had the one arm bandit fever
Dm
There was an arrow through my heart and my soul
[Chorus]
C Bb C F
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
Bb F/C F
and I'm just high on this world
Am7 Dm C Bb
come on and take a low ride with me girl
C Dm
on the tunnel of love
F C / Dm
[Verse 3]
C Dm
It's just the danger
F C
when you're riding at your own risk
G
She said you are the perfect stranger
F G Dm
She said baby let's keep it like this
C Dm
It's just a cake walk
F Dm
twisting baby step right up and say
G F G
Hey mister give me two give me two
Dm
cos any two can play
[Chorus]
C Bb C F
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
Bb F/C F
and I'm just high on this world
Am7 Dm C Bb
come on and take a low ride with me girl
C Dm
on the tunnel of love

[Verse 4]
C Dm
She took off a silver locket
F C
she said remember me by this
C G
She put her hand in my pocket
F G Dm
I got a keepsake and a kiss
C Dm
And in the roar of the dust and diesel
F C
I stood and watched her walk away
C G
I could have caught up with her easy enough
F G Dm
But something must have made me stay
[Chorus]
C Bb C F
And the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above
Bb F/C F
and I'm just high on this world
Am7 Dm C Bb

[Bridge]
Bb C Gm F/A Bb
And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Gm F/A Bb
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
Gm F/A Bb
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
C Csus4
and rockaway rockaway
C
yeah rockaway rockaway
Bb C Bb
From Cullercoats and Whitley Bay
C
