Our Shangri-La
Mark Knopfler
(Album: Shangri-La)

Intro: E  F#m A E


E
It's the end of a perfect day
    F#m
For surfer boys and girls
    A
The sun's dropping down in the bay
    E               B
And falling off the world
          E
There's a diamond in the sky
    F#m 
Our evening star
   A           E   B
In our shangri-la

 
         E
Get that fire burning strong
F#m
Right here and right now
     A
It's here and then it's gone
           E          B
There's no secret, anyhow
       E
We may never love again
       F#m
To the music of guitars
   A           E
In our shangri-la


A
Tonight your beauty burns
Abm     F#    F#m
Into my memory

The wheel of heaven turns
A
Above us endlessly
        E
This is all the heaven we've got
F#m
Right here where we are
   A           E   B
In our shangri-la


E  F#m A E B
E  F#m A E


A
Tonight your beauty burns
Abm     F#    F#m
Into my memory

The wheel of heaven turns
A
Above us endlessly
        E
This is all the heaven we've got
F#m
Right here where we are
   A           E  
In our shangri-la
   A           E  
In our shangri-la
   A           E  
In our shangri-la


A E A E etc.
