Tuning: E A D G B E

It Never Rains by Dire Straits (written by Mark Knopfler) Tab by Landon Lefebvre **When playing the bridge part, just go back and forth between A and Em. Also, emphasize the bass notes more to make it sound as close to the recording as possible. It's strenuous to try to make the chords match up perfectly with the lyrics, but you'll get the idea when you play it. Enjoy!
