Calling Elvis

Dire Straits
Tab
★3.9(22)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

This is the scale that Mark plays at the beginning of the solo.

I suggest you to hold the first three chords with your first finger,

like a little barre`, at the 7th fret. This makes the scale easier

to play.

--10>7------7----------------------------------------------------------
-------10>7---10>7---7------7------------------------------------------
-------------------9---9>10---10>9>7---9>7---7-----------------7-------
-------------------------------------9-----9---9>7---7-------7---------
---------------------------------------------------9---7>8>9-----9vvv--

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Symbols:

pulloff / hammeron: ---10>7--9>10-

vibrato: ---9vvv--

Enjoy it.
