Mark Knopfler - Why Aye Man

I heard this riff on Auf Wiedersein Pet, and just had to work it out.
I'm only 16 so dont blame me if its wrong, but it sounds just about 
correct to me.

	This song is actually about the British comedy/ drama series "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet", about a group of labourers in the early 1980s (principaly Geordies, but also a scouser, a cockney, a brummie and a bloke from the West Country). Having been hit pretty hard by Thatcherism, the group head off to find temporary employment in Germany (and subseqently all over the world). Although the song was used for season three of the series, Knopfler wrote the song of his own volition - being himself a citizen of Newcastle, the concerns of Geordies (real or, apparently, fictitious) are of great concern to him! The chorus is notable for two of the actors from the series (Jimmy Nail and Tim Healy) singing back up. A fun song. Exceptional guitar work as always, with a good strong percussion line. Chorus (perhaps intentionally) is reminicent of Native American chants.
