Mark Knopfler – The Boy (Guitar)

A        E     D  A
Sandwich in my pocket

Bm      A        D
Topcoat buttoned tight

  D          A        D
Still thirty miles to pedal

A        D              E
On these empty roads at night

        A        E     D  A
But the moon’s a giant lantern

        D             C#7
There’s no need for a light

        D       A        D A      E       A E D A  A E D A
I’ll be home in good time  in the morning

    A          E      D  A
The Boy turned pro so early

Bm        A      D
Went down London way

     D     A     D       A
I’ll pay a visit now and then

D               E
Make sure he’s okay

   A        E        D   A
We don’t do too much talking

        D          C#7
We look forward anyway

D         A          D
Sometimes we’ll just talk

 A        E    A
About the same old

E
Who knows where the world is going

D       A
 Nobody does

               D
We could never change

  E                    D   Dm
Because he’s all we’ve got

           A    D
No more or less

    A        E     D
The Boy, God bless

     E        A   E D A
He’s just The Boy

Em                              A
  There’s no sign he’ll pack it in

Bm                 G
Says why should he stop

   Em               A       F#m
He makes more money in that gym

     Bm                  G    E
Than in any blacksmith’s shop

   A        E        D  A
He seems to like the glamour

    Bm        A     D
The crowds and city lights

   D             A    D         A
He likes the cash, he likes the flash

    D               E
And fuss around the fights

        A         E        D A
Will he know when it’s all over

        D                  C#7
Will he still be sharp and bright

D        A       D
Still be working

      A       E  A
Still be on a payroll?

E
Who knows where the world is going

D       A
 Nobody does

               D
We could never change

  E                    D   Dm
Because he’s all we’ve got

           A    D
No more or less

             A
And he’s The Boy

    E     D
God bless

     E        A   D
He’s just The Boy

    A        E     D
The Boy, God bless

     E        A   D
He’s just The Boy
