Money for Nothing Dire Straits >From the album: Brothers In Arms Transcription by Rafael Andrade ([email protected])

Hi! I tried to do my own version of Money For Nothing with Tom's (modified) intro and my own chords. Check it out:

Chords: Gm7 C Bb Eb F D E ]---------------------------------[ *on chorus play

When you're playing the chords on verse, I sugest to play with The same rithym of the intro, and the Bb and C above the "M.T.V." play just like the intro.

Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it You play the guitar on the M.T.V. That ain't workin' that's the way you do it Money for nothin' and chicks for free

(play the intro through this part:) Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb Maybe get a blister on your little finger Maybe get a blister on your thumb

We gotta install microwave ovens Custom kitchen deliveries Gm7* We gotta move these refrigerators We gotta move these colour TV's

See the little faggot with the earring and the makeup Yeah buddy that's his own hair That little faggot got his own jet airplane That little faggot he's a millionaire

Repeat chorus, play the intro again and chorus

I shouldda learned to play the guitar I shouldda learned to play them drums Look at that mama, she's got it stickin' in the camera Man we could have some fun

(play the intro through this part:) And he's up there, what's that? Hawaiian noises? Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee That ain't workin' that's the way you do it Get your money for nothin' and chicks for free

Repeat chorus and play the intro

Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it You play the guitar on the M.T.V. That ain't workin' that's the way you do it Money for nothin' and your chicks for free

Play the intro till the end Money for nothin' chicks for free Money for nothin' chicks for free

Any corrections are quite welcome, mail me! (or if you think that I should quit playing Guitar, mail me too!)
