Mark Knopfler – Restless Farewell (Guitar)

    C
Oh, all the money that in my whole life I did spend

G                   C
Be it mine right or wrongfully

C                                F           C
I let it slip gladly through the hands of my friends

G                       C
To tie up the time most forcefully

C               F   C
But the bottles are done, we've killed each one

Am                  Em     F C
And the table's full   and overflowed

        F      C              F       C
And the corner sign says it's closing time

        Am      Em          G        C
So I'll bid farewell and be down the road

C                   F         C
Oh, every girl that ever I've touched

G                 C
  I did not do it harmfully

C                   F         C
And every girl that ever I've hurt

G                 C
  I did not do it knowingly

       F         C           F    C
But to remain as friends and make amends

Am             Em    F           C
  You need the time    and stay behind

             F            C
And since my feet are now fast

       F            C
Point away from the past

     Am      Em          G        C
I'll bid farewell and be down the line

C                  F      C
Oh, every foe that ever I faced

G                       C
  The cause was there before we came

                 F      C
Every cause that ever I fought

G                             C
  I fought it full, without regret or shame

             F    C
But the dark does die as the curtain is drawn

    Am              Em  F             C
And somebody's eyes     must meet the dawn

       F         C     F            C
And if I see the day,  I'd only have to stay

        Am      Em          G            C
So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone

C                               F          C
Oh, every thought that strung a knot in my mind

G                                     C
  I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung

                                  F         C
But it's not to stand naked under unknowin' eyes

G                                  C
It's for myself and my friends, my stories are sung

             F     C                 F   C
But the time ain't tall, yet on time you depend

       Am      Em           F          C
And no word is possessed by no special friend

           F       C       F               C
Though the line is cut, it ain't quite the end

Am               Em         F       C
I'll just bid farewell 'til we meet again

C                          F           C
And a false clock tries to tick out my time

G                            C
  To disgrace, distract, and bother me

                       F             C
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face

G                        C
  And the dust of rumors covers me

       Am                 Em       F          C
It can pierce through the dust, no matter how thick

        F       C      F           C
So I'll make my stand, remain as I am

    Am      Em           G      C
And bid farewell and not give a damn
