Chet Atkins & Mark Knopfler – Yakety Axe

Poverty stricken But still I’m a-stickin’ To the things I know to be facts One day it’s feathers And the next day chicken While I’m picking my yakety axe. Everybody says that I never will get far, Keeping out of work by picking this guitar Livin’ on a shoe-string, Putting off things like a shave […]

Dire Straits – Why Worry

Baby, I see this world has made you sad, Some people can be bad, The things they do, the things they say… But, baby, I’ll wipe away those bitter tears, I’ll chase away those restless fears, That turn your blue skies into grey. Why worry? There should be laughter after the pain, There should be […]

Dire Straits – The Sultans of Swing

You get a shiver in the dark Its been raining in the park but meantime South of the river you stop and you hold everything A band is blowing dixie double four time You feel all right when you hear that music ring You step inside but you dont see too many faces Coming in […]
