Love Over Gold

Dire Straits


Tom: F

F          Bb              C
 There you walk out on the high wire
Bb         F           Bb
 You're dancer on thin ice
F           Bb             C
 You pay no heed to the danger
Am             Dm  C F
 And less to advice
F                    Bb   C
 Your footsteps are forbidden
          Am                Bb  C F
 But with knowledge of your sin
                         C      Bb     F
 You throw your love to all the strangers
                           Dm
 And the caution to the wind

Interlude: A G  G F  Eb D  Eb D  Eb D  Eb D C Bb  A

F            Bb                     C
 And you go dancing through the doorways
Bb       C                   F   Bb
 Just to see what you gonna find there
F        Bb         C
 Leaving nothing to interfere
          Am            Dm          F Dm C F
 With the crazy balance of your mind
F             Bb             C
 And when you finally reappear
        Am              Bb    C F
 At the place where you came in
F                   Bb              Bb    F
 You've thrown your love to all the strangers
                           Dm
 And the caution to the wind

Interlude: A G  G F  Eb D  Eb D  Eb D  Eb D C Bb  A

         C
It takes love over gold
    F         Bb
And mind over matter
C              Bb          Dm
To do what you do that you must
        C
When the things that you hold
     Eb
Can fall and be shattered
    C                              Dm
Or run through your fingers like dust
