    Thanks neway prompen3

  • I play it by detuning my Dobro to DADGBE, then sticking a capo at the third fret. He's not doing anything that difficult technically ... it's all in the feeling.

  • National Steel guitars

  • the first album i bought with my first pay cheque,all these years later and its still amazing

  • wonderful, delicious, magic, greatest. All the word are needless against this song. This is unbelievable.

    (İstanbul / Turkiye)

  • mark è un grande

  • From Mauritaina,Mark you are amazing.

  • So Magnificent!!

  • Not comments... BRILLIANT!

  • Definitely among my favorite (and most played) songs of all time. Unlike many songs that go on for 14+ minutes, there is hardly any excess here. The word cinematic comes readily to mind...this is like a short movie that hardly needs the visual to tell its story and really make you feel something for the characters.

  • Funny, you should say "cinematic", Knopfler has done soundtracks for quite a few films.

  • agreed. Two pianos on stage to play it, the start was brilliant (like the rest anyway). Mark's songs are really good.

  • THE greatest song of ALL TIME!!! NO ONE cn write songs like mark. o yeah and i saw him playing this live 2 years ago....it was amazing
