Dire Straits-Brothers In Arms - BPM - 85

 Verse 1]
 
Am                 F   G
These mist covered mountains
                   C   F C
Are a home now for me
                   Am Em
But my home is the lowlands
                F G
And always will be
                  Am   Em
Some day you'll return to
                      F    G
Your valleys and your farms
                     Am
And you'll no longer burn
      F           G     
To be brothers in arms
Am   Am   F    G

 
[Verse 2]
Am                        F      G
Through these fields of destruction
               C  F  C
Baptisms of fire
                     Am   Em
I've witnessed your suffering
                      F     G
As the battles raged higher
                         Am     Em
And though they did hurt me so bad
                 F     G
In the fear and alarm
              Am
You did not desert me
   F           G     
My brothers in arms
Am   Am   F    G
 
[Verse 3]
Am         G              Am    G
There's so many different worlds
                  F     G
So many different suns
Am         G         Am    G
And we have just one world
                         F   G  F
But we live in different ones
 
[Verse 4]
Am                    F    G
Now the sun's gone to hell
                      C    F  C
And the moon's riding high
               Am  Em
Let me bid you farewell
                F    G
Every man has to die
                        Am  Em
But it's written in the starlight
                       F    G
And every line on your palm
                    Am
We're fools to make war
       F           G
On our brothers in arms
