Restless Farewell Chords by Mark Knopfler

[G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] All the money that [Dm] my [C] whole life I did spend,
_ _ [G] _ Be it mine [C] right or wrongfully,
_ _ I'll let it slip gladly through the hands of my friend, _
[G] To tie up the time most [C] forcefully.
_ But the bottles are done,
[F] We've killed each [C] one [Am] and the [Em] table's full [F] _
[C] and overflowed,
_ _ And the corner sign [F] says closing [C] time,
[Eb] So I'll bid [Em] farewell and be [Eb] [C] down the road. _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, every girl [F] that ever [C] I've touched,
_ _ _ [G] I did not do [C] it harmfully.
_ _ _ _ Every girl [F] that ever [C] I've hurt, _ _ _
[G] _ I did not do [C] it knowingly. _
But to remain [F] [C] as friends and [F]
make [C] amends,
[Am] You [Em] need the time [F]
to [C] stay behind.
_ Since [F] my feet are now [C] fast,
[F] Pointing away [C] from the past,
[Am] I'll bid [Em] farewell and [G] be [C] down the line.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _
[Am] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] Oh, every foe [F] that ever [C] I've faced,
_ _ _ [G]
The cause was there [C] before we came. _
_ Every cause [F] that ever [C] I've fought,
_ _ _ _ [G] I'll fight for [C] without regret or shame.
But the [F] dark [C] does die as the [F] curtain [C] is drawn,
[Am] And [Em] somebody's eyes [F] must meet the [C] dawn. _ _
[F] And if I see the [C] day, [F] I'd only have to [C] stay,
So [Am] I'll bid [Em] farewell [G] in the [C] night and be gone.
_ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Oh, every thought that's [F] strung a knot in [C] my mind,
_ _ _ [G] I might go insane [C] if it couldn't be sprung,
But it's not to stand naked [Em] under [F] unknowing [C] eyes.
_ _ [G]
For myself and my friends, [C] my story's a song.
But the [F] time [C] ain't tall, yet on [F] time [C] you depend,
And [Am] no word [Em] is possessed [F] by no [C] special friend.
_ _ [F] And though the line [C] is cut, [F] it ain't quite [C] the end,
[Am] I'll just bid [Em] farewell _ [G] till we [C] meet again.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And a false clock [Em] tries [F] to take [C] out my time,
_ _ _ [G] To disgrace, distract, [C] and bother me.
And _ [Em] the dirt of gossip [F] blows into my [C] face,
_ _ [G]
And the dust of rumors [C] covers me. _
But if the [F] arrow [C] is straight and the [F] point [C] is slick,
It [Am] can pierce through the [Em] dust no [F] matter [C] how thick.
_ _ [F] So I'll make my [C]
stand, [F] remain as [C] I am,
[Am] And bid [Em] farewell _ [G] not _ [C] even then.
