Biografía:
Dire Straits fue una banda de Rock británica, fundada en 1977 por Mark Knopfler (guitarra y voz), David Knopfler (guitarra), John Illsley (bajo) y Pick Withers (batería), con Ed Bicknell como director.
Dire Straits grabó y realizó su primer álbum homónimo en 1978 con poca aceptación hasta que cinco meses después se lanzó un sencillo, Sultans of Swing, que convirtió el disco en uno de los más vendidos. El segundo álbum, Communiqué se lanzó poco después; estos dos primeros trabajos configuraron el sonido de la banda.

[Intro]
| Dm | Dm | C | G | x2
[Verse 1]
Dm C Bb F
Two in the morning, dry-dock town
Dm C Bb F
The river rolls away in the night
Dm C Bb F
Little gypsy moth she's all tied down
Dm C Bb F
She quiver in the wind and the light
Dm C Bb F
Yeah, and a sailing ship just held down in chains
Dm C Bb F
From the lazy days of sail
Dm C Bb F
She's just lying there in silent pain
Dm C Bb F
He lean on the tourist rail
Am Dm
A mother and her baby and the college of war
Bb C
In the concrete graves
Dm C Bb F
You never want to fight against the river law
Gm Bb
Nobody rules the waves
[Chorus]
C A7 Dm
Yeah and on a night when the lazy wind is a-wailing
Bb C
Around the Cutty Sark
Dm C Bb F
Single handed sailor goes sailing
Gm Bb
Sailing away in the dark
[Instrumental]
| Dm | Dm | C | G | x2
[Verse 2]
Dm C Bb F
He's upon the bridge on the self same night
Dm C Bb F
The mariner of dry dock land
Dm C Bb F
Two in the morning, but there is one green light
Dm C Bb F
And a man on the barge of sand
Am Dm
She's going to slip away below him
Bb C
Away from the things he's done
Dm C Bb F
But he just shouts "Hey man, what do you call this thing?"
Gm Bb
He could have said "Pride of London"
[Chorus]
C A7 Dm
On a night when the lazy wind is a-wailing
Bb C
Around the Cutty Sark
Dm C Bb F
Single handed sailor goes sailing
Gm Bb
Sailing away in the dark
[Outro]

For the intro: I tried to play the long note as a slide note. I have to say
that it sounds much better.
Tab notation follows:
10/12 : slide from 10th to 12th fret
10b(12) : bending (one tone) at 10th fret
(12)r10 : release bent note at 10th fret
10vv : vibrato
10h12 : hammer on
12p10 : pull off
