Why Aye Man Mark Knopfler
[Dm] [Dm] [F] [Dm-] [Dm-]
Dm We had no way of G staying a Dm float
We G had to leave on the fer Dm ry-boat
Economic G refu Dm gees
G On the Dm run to F Germ Dm any
We G had the back of Dm Maggieâ??s G hand G- -
Dm Times were tough in G Geordie Dm land
Dm We got wor tools and G working Dm gear
And G humped it all from New F castle Dm to here
[C] [Dm]
Dm Why aye man, G why aye, Dm why aye man
G Why aye man, Dm why aye, F why Dm aye man (x2)
Dm Weâ??re the nomad tribes, G travelling Dm boys
In the G dust and the Dm dirt and the F racket and Dm the noise
Dm Drills and hammers, G diggers and Dm picks
G Mixing Dm concrete, F lay Dm ing bricks
Thereâ??s G English, Irish, Scots, the lot G --
Dm United Nationâ??s G what weâ??ve Dm got
Brickies, Chippies, G every Dm trade
G German building, Dm British-made
[C] [Dm]
Dm Why aye man, G why aye, why Dm aye man
G Why aye man, Dm why aye, F why Dm aye man (x2)
G Nae more work on Dm Maggieâ??s G farm
Dm Hadaway down the G auto Dm bahn
G Mineâ??s a porta Dm cabin G bed
Dm or a bunk in a Nissan G hut Dm instead
[G] [Dm] [G] [F] [Dm]
[G]Dm[Dm] The[G]re[F]â??s plenty Deutschmarks G here to Dm earn
Dm And German tarts are F wun Dm derschoen
Dm German beer is G chemical- Dm free
G Germanyâ??s al Dm reet with me
Some G times I miss my Dm river G Tyne G--
Dm But youâ??re my G pretty Dm Fraulein
Dm Tonight weâ??ll drink the G old town Dm dry
G Keep wor spirit Dm levels high
