Money For Nothing Guitar Tablature
Money For Nothing
DIRE STRAITS
tabbed by Alex Phillips-Broadhurst


This songs easy once you get the rhythm spot on which can take some time. Play along with the CD. I spent ages looking for a tab to this song but they were all pretty hopeless, this ones a bit better I think.

You can play this intro over the verses, it fits fine and sounds good.

VERSE:
Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the M.T.V.
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and chicks for free
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them guys ain't dumb
Maybe get a blister on your little finger
Maybe get a blister on your thumb


Change to chords for the chorus. (play barre chords)
CHORUS:
Eb               Bb
We gotta install microwave ovens
Eb             F    
Custom kitchen deliveries
Gm7
We gotta move these refrigerators
C                   D          E
We gotta move these colour TV's


INTRO: X1 (oola mula! :)


CHORUS AGAIN (play chords)


VERSE: (Again, just play intro riff over the verse singing)
I shouldda learned to play the guitar
I shouldda learned to play them drums
Look at that mama, she's got it stickin' in the cameraman
We could have some fun
And he's up there, what's that?  Hawaiian noises?
Bangin' on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
Oh That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Get your money for nothin' and chicks for free


CHORUS AGAIN (play chords)


INTRO: x1


VERSE TO END (play intro riff)
Listen here..
Now that ain't workin' that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' get your chicks for free
Money for nothin' get chicks for free

That's about it I think, its sounds alright to me!
