Mark Knopfler – Cleaning My Gun (Guitar)

         B
I keep a weather eye on the horizon, back to the wall

                                      Asus2          E
I like to know who's coming through the door, that's all

It's the old Army training, kickin' in

I'm not complaining, it's the world we live in

B
Blarney and Malarkey, they're a devious firm

                                  Asus2    E
They'll take you to the cleaners, let you burn

B                    E             B                 E

We hired the worst dishwasher this place ever got

Hidden below the radar, they want to spoil our fun

Remember it got so cold ice froze up the tank

                          Asus2             E
We lit a fire beneath her just so she would crank

       B                  E
Keep a weather eye on the horizon

       B                  E
Tap my stormglass now and then

           B              E               Asus2                 B    Asus2 B Asus2

We can have ourselves a party before they come

In the meantime,      I'm cleaning my gun

We had women and a mirror ball, we had a dee jay

E                                B
Used to eat pretty much all that came his way

E                                B
Ever since the goons came in and took apart the place

C#                                F#
I keep a tyre iron in the corner, just in case

B
I gave you a magic bullet on a little chain

                                           Asus2       E
to keep you safe from the chilly winds and out of the rain

B                      E       B             E
We're gonna might need bullets should we get stuck

B         E                   Asus2             B Asus2 B Asus2
Any which way, we're going to need a little luck

You can still get gas in Heaven, and a drink in Kingdom Come

In the meantime,      I'm cleaning my gun
