What It Is Mark Knopfler
[F#m]Drink and dance are spilling out and straggering in the[A] square There’s lads and lasses fallin[D]g about and a crackelling in the air [A] [E]
Then around the dungeon doors there’s shelters in the queues Everybody’s looking for somebody’s arms to fall into
[F#m]It’s wha[D]t it i[E]s I[F#m]t’s what it is now [D] [E]
[F#m]Here’s frost on the graves and the monuments but the taverns ar[A]e warm in town ,People curse the government and shovel hot foo[D]d down [A] [E]
Lights are out in cityhall ,the castle and the keep, Moon shines down upon it all the legless and the sleepless
[D]Cold on a tollgate where the wagons cre[A]eping through
[D]Cold on a tollgate God knows what I [A]can do [E]
[F#m]Hmm that’s what it is [D] [E] It’s what[F#m] it is now [D] [E]
Riff1
[F#m]The garnison sleeps and the citadel with the ghosts and the a[A]ncient stones High on the parapet the scottish pipe[D]rs stands alone [A] [E]
High on the wind the howling runes speak of the rule And something from the past just comes and stares into my soul
Cold on a tollgate where the caledonian moves
Cold on a tollgate god knows what I can do with you
That’s what it is (riff1) It’s what it is now (riff2)
[F#m]There’s a chink of light as a burning wick
[A]There’s a lantern in the tower
[D]Wee Willie Winkie with the candle sticks still writing songs in the mean Wee hours [A] [E]
[F#m]On charlotte street they take a walking stick from my hotel [A]
[D]The ghost of dirty dick is still in search of little nell [E]
That’s what it is…..
