Mark Knopfler – Your Leading Man (Guitar)

    G
The greenkeeper rolls himself a smoke

    C
And watches her walk by

Am
Tall and poised and beautiful

D               D7
Lets out a sigh

G
Down in the allotments

     C
They put their plants in pots

   Am
Go home to watch some Wimbledon

     D                    D7
Doze off to snooker shots

        C
And I'm flying

            D
Through the starry night

     G   F        E
High over distant lands

      Am                 D
And I dream you're lying in my arms

C                     G
 And I'm your leading man

             C   Am
Your leading man

D      D7                 G
Darling, I'm your leading man

G
 Muggy garden centres

C
 Stuffy afternoons

Am
Teapots, cup and saucers

D                      D7
Sugar, milk and spoons

G
Bottles go back on doorsteps

C
Tools go back in sheds

     Am
They clear away the dishes

    D                    D7
Get ready for their beds

        C
And I'm flying

            D
Through the starry night

     G   F        E
High over distant lands

      Am                 D
And I dream you're lying in my arms

C                     G
 And I'm your leading man

             C   Am
Your leading man

D      D7               G
Darling, I'm your leading man

         Dm
Well the caretaker steals glances

       G
As she waits outside the school

Dm
Tall and poised and beautiful

E            A    D D7
 Elegant and cool

    G
And now the kids are spilling out

  C
Laughing and chattering

Am
Home for tea and fame tv

      D              D7
And a quiet night in

        C
And I'm flying

            D
Through the starry night

     G   F        E
High over distant lands

      Am                 D
And I dream you're lying in my arms

C                     G
 And I'm your leading man

             C   Am
Your leading man

D      D7               G
Darling, I'm your leading man

             C   Am
Your leading man

D      D7               G
Darling, I'm your leading man
