Calling Elvis (Dire Straits)

This is the scale that Mark plays at the beginning of the solo. I suggest you to hold the first three chords with your first finger, like a little barre`, at the 7th fret. This makes the scale easier to play.

Industrial Disease

[A]Intro [D] [E] [G] [D] [C] [Bm] [A] [A]Now warning lights are flashing down in quality control. Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole. there's rumours in the loading bay and anger in the town. somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down. There's a [D]meeting in the boardroom, they're trying to trace the smell,[C][Bm] there's a [A]leaking in the washroom, there's a sneak in [D]Personnel. [E]Somewhere in a corridor someone was heard to sneeze. [A]Goodness me, goodness me, Industrial Disease! [A]The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post, They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most. The watchdog's got rabies, the foreman's got the fleas, And everyone's concerned about Industrial Disease. There's [D]panic on the switchboard, tongues are tied in knots.[C][Bm] Some [A]come out in sympathy some come out in spots, [E]Some blame the management some the employees. [A]And everypone knows it's the industrial disease [A]Break [D] [E] [G] [D] [C] [Bm] [A] [A]The workforce is disgusted, downs tools and walks. Innoncence is injured; experience just talks. Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees That these are "classic symptoms of a monetary squeeeze". On [D]ITV and BBC they talk about the curse.[C][Bm] curse.[C][Bm] Phil[A]osphy is useless, theology is worse, [E]History boils over, there's an economics freeze; [A]Sociologists invent words that mean "Industrial Disease" [A]Doctor Parkinson Parkinson declared "I'm not surprised to see you here. You've got smoker's cough from smoking, brewer's droop from drinking beer. I don't know how you came to get the Bette Davis knees, but worst of all young man you've got Industrial Disease" He [D]wrote me a prescription, he said "You are depressed,[C][Bm] but [A]I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest. [E]Come back and see me later -- next patient please! [A]Send in another victim of Industrial Disease." [A]Break [D] [E] [G] [D] [C] [Bm] [A] [A]I go down to Speaker's Corner. I'm thunderstruck! thunderstruck! They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks. Two men say they're Jesus -- one of them must be wrong. There's a protest singer singing a protest song -- he says "They [D]wanna have a war so they can keep us on our knees.[C][Bm] They [A]wanna have a war so they can keep their factories. [E]They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese. [A]They wanna have a war to stop Industrial Disease! [A]They're pointing pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind. They wanna sap your energy, incarcerate your mind. They give you Rule Britannia, gassy beer, page three, two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease." Mean[D]while the first Jesus says "I'd cure it soon,[C][Bm] a[A]bolish monday mornings and friday afternoons." [E]The other one's out on hunger strike he's dying by degrees. [A]How come Jesus gets Industrial Disease? [E]Outro [G] [D] [C] [Bm] [A]

Play the intro. Play three verses, then play B1 four times. Then play one more verse, then B1 four times. Finally play another verse followed by B1 three times, then finish. I hope thats right... There may be variations in the Bass notes or the extra notes Mark drops in all the time. The B1 bit is tricky - The idea in the second part of the bar is to get the bass notes going along in the background to establish the rythm, while the high strings give the notes that run over top of it. I can bearly hear the rythm notes, so they may not be right.

The bars are very rough attemps to indicate rythm, but I'm pretty sure they don't match. Anyway, tabs are pretty useless without the original music, so who cares. A ">" or "<" means the note following it should have no attack (string bend, pull off, hammer on, slide, whatever). The timing indication (4'02") is taken from my CD player. :-) Key: G maj.

Private Investigations Investigations

Transcription by : Guillaume Laurent (except first intro solo by Laurent Martinez)

First, a few precisions: this is an attempt of a transcription of the studio version of P.I. Not everything of what he does is here (far from that), but it sounds nice when you play this along with the record, or with a bunch a musician friends. Besides, I'm completely deaf when it comes to figure out chords (even worse than solos!), and I know that he often starts these little "phrases" by strumming a 3 or 4 notes chord, and then picks notes over it. So if such "phrase beginnings" don't seem to match for you hear, and you happen to find better ways to do them, please let me know! Add on (22 Feb. 93) : The corrections I've added are precisely trying trying to improve those "starts". No notations tricks : a ">" means the note following should have no attack (i.e. slide it, hammer it, pull it, whatever!). Intro arpeggios (not included in the "Money for Nothing" best-of version) : -------5-7-5-7--|---------------------------5----------|-------------------------5------------|----------9-12-9-------7--------------|--------9--------12-9-----------------|-----10-------------------------------|----------------------Intro solo: -------------|---------|------|---------------------|---------|------------------8---------|---------|------|-------8>12--8>10-10-|-10>8>10-|-10>12--8-----------9>11-11-|-11-9-11-|-12-9-|----7----------------|---------|----------------9-----------|---------|------|---------------------|---------|----------------------------|---------|------|---------------------|---------|----------------------------|---------|------|---------------------|---------|------------------------------------------|-------------------------8-7--5>10------|----7-7-8-------------7-------------9-9-|----7------9--------7-------------------|-----------------9----------------------|--------------7-------------------------|--------------

Romeo & Juliet

Transcriber: Transcriber: Timo Tattari ([email protected]) ([email protected]) (Some inspiration from the James Reese tab) Guitar used: National Duolian, effects & amp unknown Right, this is a beginners-only tabulature, not 100% transcript but easy to play, and even sounds like the real thing! Tuning: Normal Capo: None X --5--5--5--5---5-3-0-1--1--1--0--1-3-5--------------6------------------------------5------5----------------5------ 5------------3----------3--------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Repeat two times and on second time when you get to X jump to the tab below..

--0--1--5------3--6------3--5------3--7---------------------And then play the song with the chords found on the James Reese tab (below)

This is the version that I figured out, after listening to the song about 12,000 times. It's not nearly as rich as the one that Mark Knopfler does, but it certainly makes it recognizable. And it's fun to play. Any corrections/additions corrections/additions are quite welcome. Song: "Rome and Juliet" Group: Dire Straits Album: Making Movies The intro starts out with a D-structured F chord: strum and then pick out the first three notes, then strum again. Next, pick the last three notes of the F chord and slide the picking down the E-string to a Bb chord: F(D-struct) Bb (strum a few times) E---5------------------5-------------5--3--0-----1-------------------B---6----------6-------6----------6--------------3-------------------G---5-------5----------5-------5-----------------3-------------------D---7----7-----------------------------------------------------------A--------------------------------------------------------------------E--------------------------------------------------------------------Now pick on the E-string back up to the D-struct. F chord and pick those first 3 notes again, then strum. Now quickly move to a downward sweep pick on the F chord barred at the first fret (plus the unfretted E-string note), which leads back to the Bb:

F(D-struct) F(barred,1st fret) Bb(strum...) --0h1--3----5----------------5------------------1-----0----1--------------------6----------6-----6---------------1--------------3--------------------5-------5--------5------------2-----------------3--------------------7----7---------------------3-----------------------------------------------------------------3------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Pagina 33 di 60

Now it's back up the E-string to the D-struct F for more of the same (the rest of the band kicks in here and starts to obscure things). F(D-struct) Bb(strum...) --0h1--3----5------------------5-------------5--3--0-----1-----------------------6---------6--------6----------6--------------3-----------------------5------5-----------5-------5-----------------3-----------------------7---7-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This time on the way back up to the D-struct F we play the A and G notes on the E-string. Then do the D-struct F thing again, then do a quick downward seep-pick on the open C chord, with the high G note added (1st string at 3rd fret). An open E-string then leads to the Bb. Then it's up to the D-struct F for the start of the lyrics: F(D-struct) Bb(strum/pick...) Bb(strum/pic k...) --5--3------5-------------5------------------3---0---1-------0h1--3--- etc ------------6---------5---6---------------1----------3---------------------------5------6------5------------0-------------3---------------------------7---7-------------------2-----------------------------------------------------------------3---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now you can do the downward sweep-picking on the F(1st fret) to get to the Bb, then pick up the E-string to get to the D-struct F again. That's about it (at least, that's as much as I'm able to do).
