------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ON EVERY STREET - Dire Straits ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: woega Email: woega@hotmail.com Tuning: standard This is my interpretation of the ENTIRE song, lyrics, chords, tabs including the INTRO, all RIFFS, and the OUTRO. I've tried to be as accurate as I can, but I'm open for suggestions :) The tabs that are directly underneath lyrics are meant to be played with the lyrics, when there's a blank line then they're played AFTER the words.

The piano plays the following chords: F G6 D/F# Em F Em Gsus4 G A9 If you want to play them on guitar I would play them like depicted below. Put emphasis the notes with a * hear play the melody: F (133211@1) G6 (320000@1)D/F#Em F (133211@1) Em (022000@1)Gsus4G A9e|--x---0*--x----x---x---x---x-----x---x---| (x02423@1)B|--x---0---3*---x---x---0*--1*----0*--0---| G|--2*--0---2----0*--2*--0---0-----0---2*--| D|--3---0---0----2---3---2---0-----0---2---| A|--3---2---0----2---3---2---2-----2---0---| E|--1---3---2----0---1---0---3-----3---x---| F/C (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G/B (143121@7) C (x32010@1) a ladykiller, regulation tattoo e|------------| B|------------| G|--pb9ld7-5--| D|------------| A|------------| E|------------| Am (x02210@1) G/B (143121@7) C (x32010@1) silver spurs on his heels F/C (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G/B (143121@7) Esus4 (022200@1) what can I tell you as I'm standing next to you e|---------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------8-------------6--5----| G|---------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------| Am (x02210@1) Em/Gshe (322000@1)threw herself under my wheels F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) oh it's a dangerous road Fe|-----------------| (133211@1)B|------1-1-0-1----| G|------0-0-0-0h2--| D|--0h2-2-2-0-3----| A|------------3----| E|-----------------| F (133211@1) C/G (3x555x@1)G (320003@1) and a hazardous load C (x32010@1) G/B (143121@7) Am (x02210@1) Emand (022000@1)the fireworks of liberty explode in the heat e|-----------------------------| B|--pb12ld11b12--pb12ld10-8----| G|--------------------------9--| D|-----------------------------| A|-----------------------------| E|-----------------------------| Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) F/Bb (113211@1) Cand (x32010@1)it's your face I'm looking for on every street Ame|----------| (x02210@1)B|----------| G|----------| D|----------| A|--3-3/5-0-| E|----------| The second time the main theme is played twice. The first time is like the first, but without the A9 at the end: F (133211@1)G6 (320000@1)D/F#Em F (133211@1) Em (022000@1)Gsus4 (3x0013@1)Ge|--x---0*--x----x---x---x---x-----x---| (320003@1)B|--x---0---3*---x---x---0*--1*----0*--| G|--2*--0---2----0*--2*--0---0-----0---| D|--3---0---0----2---3---2---0-----0---| A|--3---2---0----2---3---2---2-----2---| E|--1---3---2----0---1---0---3-----3---| The second time, as the piano plays the chords, Mark joins in for some accents, but does play the entire tune yet. For timing purposes I added the chords above the tabs: F (133211@1)G6 (320000@1)D/F#Em F (133211@1)Em (022000@1)Gsus4G A9e|---------------------------------------------------| (x02423@1)B|------3/5-3---------0--------1-----3---------------| G|--(2)-----------------2--0-----------------pb9ld7b9| D|---------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------| F/C (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G/B (143121@7) Ca (x32010@1)three-chord symphony crashes into space Am (x02210@1) G/B (143121@7) Cthe (x32010@1)moon is hanging upside down F/C (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G/B (143121@7) Esus4 (022200@1) I don't know why it is I'm still on the case e|-------------------------------------------------------| B|-6--------------5-------------8--------6---7-------8b10| G|-------------------------------------------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------------------| Am (x02210@1) Em/G (322000@1) it's a ravenous town Fe|----------------| (133211@1)B|---5-8-5--------| G|-----------7-5--| D|----------------| A|----------------| E|----------------| F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) and you still refuse to be traced Fe|----------------| (133211@1)B|--5-5-6--6-8-6--| G|--5-5-7--5-7-5--| D|----------------| A|----------------| E|----------------| F (133211@1) C/G (3x555x@1) G (320003@1) seems to me such a waste C (x32010@1) G/B (143121@7) Am (x02210@1) Em (022000@1) and every victory has a taste that's bittersweet e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------/10-----------------10b12-----12ld10-8---| G|---------------------------------------------------------------9-| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) F/Bb (113211@1) C (x32010@1) Amand (x02210@1)it's your face I'm looking for on every street e|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|--7--------------5-7/9-7-----------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| Dm (xx0231@1) Bb (x1333x@1) F/Bb (113211@1) C (x32010@1) Amyeah (x02210@1)it's your face I'm looking for on every street e|------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------6------------------8------------8/10--| G|---7--------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------| A|------------------------------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------------| Ok now the hard part :) For the rythm guitar, just play the chords we have seen before repeatedly (without the A9): F G6 D/F# Em F Em Gsus4 G Now I hope I can explain the lead part well enough because it involves MK-style finger picking. I'll start with the main tune first, and then add some tips to ad some flavour. We'll start with a little practice. First of all the chords are the same, but played a bit different. Try to position your fingers as below, but only play the note marked with * to get familiar with the positions: F (133211@1)G6 (320000@1) D/F#Em F (133211@1) Em (022000@1)Gsus4G e|--1---x---x----0---1---0---x-----x---| B|--1---5*--3*---0---1---0*--1*----0*--| G|--2*--4---2----0*--2*--0---0-----0---| D|--3---5---0----2---3---2---0-----0---| A|--3---x---0----2---3---2---2-----2---| E|--1---3---1----0---1---0---3-----3---| To make things a bit more interessing, we add the bass notes, and the little extra notes plays. Again try to position your fingers as indicated, but only play the notes with *: F (133211@1)G6 (320000@1) D/F#Em F (133211@1) Em (022000@1)Gsus4G F (133211@1)G6 (320000@1) D/F#Em F (133211@1) Em (022000@1)Gsus4G e|--1---x---x----0---1---0---x-----x---|--1---x---x----0---------1---0---x-----x---|---------| B|--1---5*--3*---0---1---0*--1*----0*--|--1---5*--3*---0---------1---0*--1*----0*--|--1*-0*--| G|--2*--4---2----0*--2*--0---0-----0---|--2*--4---2----0*----0*--2*--0---0-----0---|---------| D|--3---5---0----2---3---2---0-----0---|--3---5---0----2---2*----3---2---0-----0---|---------| A|--3---x---0----2---3---2---2-----2---|--3---x---0----2---------3---2---2-----2---|---------| E|--1*--3*--1*---0*--1*--0*--3*----3*--|--1*--3*--1*---0*--------1*--0*--3*----3*--|---------| This is how I play it. Upper to strings are played with index or middle finger, bass notes with the thumb. I'll try to be as accurate as I can.
