Dire Straits - Six Blade Knife chords
Start Jamming...
I was visiting a bar there, not unlike this one.
They serve beer, not quite as good as this, but close.
And in walks the biggest Mexican I have ever seen.
Big as shit.
Just walks right in like he owns a place.
Now, nobody knew quite what to make of him
or quite what to think, but [C] there he was,
and in he walked.
