ANOTHER TRANSCRIPTION FROM URBAN FOLLOWS............

After the intro repeat where the 4 long sustained notes as u wrote are played In the following style... Slide / Slide / Plain / Bend (twice)

(Tab: H-hammer-on P-pull-off; B-bend; vv-vibrato;S-slide;.staccato;() by itself)

After that....

The remaining stuff is slower and relatively less prominent..has a bunch Of bends and slides..double stops like the one just above.

Comments and Improvements Welcomed

Single-Handed Sailor (Dire Straits) From the album 'Communique'

> Two in the morning bright uptown ( Two in the morning dry-dock town) Dm C Bb - F > The river run away in the night (The river rolled away in the night) > Little Gypsy mare she's all tied down (Little gypsy mom she's all tied down) Dm C Bb - F > She put her in the wind and the light (She quiver in the wind down the light) >

(Same chords as above)

> Yeah, the sailing ship is just held down in chains (Yeah, the sailing ship is just a-held down in chains) (The sailing ship is just held with chains) > From the lazy days of sailing > She's just lying there silent in pain (She's just lying there, silent pain) > You lean on the tourist rail > Am Dm Dm-C-Bb > A mother and her baby in the college of war > In the concrete grave > You never want to fight against the river law > Nobody rules the waves > > Yeah, on a night when the lazy wind is wailing > Around the cutting saw > Single-handed sailor go sailing > Singing away in the dark (Sailing away in the dark) > > He's up on the bridge on the self-say night > A mariner of dried-up land > Two in the morning, well there's one green light > And the man on the barge is sad > > She's gonna step away below him ('She's a-gonna slip away below him) > Away from things he's done > But he just shouts, "Hey man whatcha call this thing?" > She could say, "Pride of London" > > On a night when the lazy wind is wailing > Around the cutting saw > Yeah, single-handed sailor go sailing > Singing away in the dark (Sailing away in the dark)

For the intro: I tried to play the long note as a slide note. I have to say That it sounds much better.
