			     Iron Hand - Dire Straits (mark Knopfler)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


		  	  
With all the clarity of dream
				
The sky so blue, the grass so green
			        
The rank and file and the navy blue
					      
The deep and strong, the straight and true

		    		   
The blue line they got the given sign
			    	      
The belts and boots march forward in time
			  		
The wood and leather the club and shield
					      
Swept like a wave across the battlefield

	 	     		
Now with all the clarity of dream
				
The blood so red, the grass so green
				
The gleam of spur on chestnut flank
	 				
The cavalry did burst upon the ranks

				
Oh the iron will and iron hand
		         	
In england's green and pleasant land
		   	    
No music for the shameful scene
			    			    
That night they said it had even shocked the queen

				
Well alas we've seen it all before
		    	    
Knights in armour, days of yore
			    		
The same old fears and the same old crimes
			   	        
We haven't changed since ancient times


It sounds allright if you just make some fingerplay between the verses and just
simplifies it doing the verses

My suggestion is something like this:

(left hand holds Bm - only right hand fingerplay, keep playing this over 
when you shift the chords, it will sound allright)
