Dire Straits – Down To The Waterline (Guitar)

Bm       F#m   A       E7       Bm
Sweet surrender on the quayside

Bm      F#m   A           E7         Bm
  You remember we used to run and hide

        Bm                   F#m
In the shadows of cargoes, I take you one time

          A
And we're counting all the numbers

E                  Bm
Down to the waterline

Bm     F#m           A         E7      Bm
  Near misses on the dogleap stairways

Bm       F#m           A          E7     Bm
  French kisses in the darkened doorways

  Bm                  F#m
A foghorn blowing out wild and cold

  A                       E               Bm
A policeman shines a light on my shoulder

Bm         F#m      A        E7     Bm
Up comes a coaster, fast and silent in the night

Bm      F#m       A           E7      Bm
Over my shoulder, all you can see are pilot lights

   Bm                           F#m
No money in our jackets and our jeans are torn

     A                       E             Bm
Your hands are cold but your lips are warm

        Bm             F#m             A       E7   Bm
She can see him on the jetty that they used to know

        Bm              F#m              A         E7  Bm
She can feel him in the places where the sailors go

           Bm                          F#m
When she's walking by the river or the railway line

        A
She can still hear him whisper

E                    Bm
Let's go down to the waterline, come on
