Mark Knopfler – Scavengers Yard (Guitar)

  Am
I closed my eyes and made a wish

Am
Lord, don't let me lose this fish

Am              E               Am
Scored myself a genuine squillionaire

        Am
I'm the drawing room boy with the pinky ring

    Am
I'm here to sell you anything

           Am
I've got a brand new friend

          E                Am
And we're doing a good job there

        C
Thought he'd come down to sniff around

   G                    Am
In my old blood-stained hunting ground

Am             E                     Am
Walked right in, I never should have stayed

     C
He's taking all my sage advice

   G                    Am
So keep it shut, you'll get your slice

   F                                       E
We do him both ends twice, and we both get paid

              Am
In Scavengers Yard where the wild things roam

Am
Welcome, the bag man's home

Am          E                    Am
Come on down to where the tigers roar

   Am
In Scavengers Yard, the wild things roam

Am
Welcome, the bag man's home

Am               E                   Am
  You'll find me down on the killing floor

    Am
Now as someone I'd recommend

  Am
I bring you in, a dear old friend

    Am                        E            Am
Who knows just where there's another shiny toy

   Am
It goes the way I want it to

          Am
There's a major drink in this for you

Am              E               Am
Finder wins and seller too, old boy

       Am
He's a greedy swine, he loves a steal

   Am
We tell him here's one killer deal

     Am                   E                  Am
I'll hold his hand, and a reaming there will be

     Am
I've let him know he's number one

     Am
I've told him as a rule of thumb

  Am             E             Am
I don't trust anyone, not even me

C
Never had a sucker come on like this

G                 Am
 He's giving me arthritis

                   E              Am
I feel like I have grown a set of claws

C
I'm not going to let this one slip

      G               Am
And I don't intend to lose my grip

F                           E
Now that I've got him in my jaws

              Am
In Scavengers Yard where the wild things roam

Am
Welcome, the bag man's home

Am          E                    Am
Come on down to where the tigers roar

   Am
In Scavengers Yard, the wild things roam

Am
Welcome, the bag man's home

Am               E                   Am
  You'll find me down on the killing floor
