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

Subject: TAB: Planet Of New Orleans

Title: Planet of New Orleans

Author: Mark Knopfler

Transcription by: Guillaume Laurent

The bars are very rough attemps to indicate rythm, but I'm pretty sure

they don't match. Anyway, tabs are pretty useless without the original

music, so who cares.

A ">" or "<" means the note following it should have no attack (string

bend, pull off, hammer on, slide, whatever). The timing indication

(4'02") is taken from my CD player. :-)

Key: G maj.

Intro solo:
