Here are the chords for Communiqué. This song can be found on the
album of the same name. This is a great song in my opinion but it
isn't one of their most famous.
 
 
[Intro]
| A   | A   | A   | A   | x4
 
[Verse 1]
   Bm          G         A           Bm
We wanna get a statement, for Jesus' sake
G                           A
 It's like-a talking to the wall
     Bm       G        A          Bm   A
He's incommunicado, no comment to make
G                      A
He's saying nothing at all
 
[Chorus]
            G       D                  Em         D
Yeah, but in communiqué, you know he's gonna come clean
G             D    Em          D
Think what he say, say what he mean
G          D             Em           D
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say
G       Bm  A          Bm
 Communication, communiqué
       | A   | A   | A   | A   | 2x
Communiqué      
 
[Verse 2]
Bm             G              A             Bm
Maybe he could talk about the tricks of the trade
G                            A
Maybe he could talk about himself
Bm             G              A             Bm   A
Maybe he could talk about the money that he made
G                              A
Maybe he'd be saying something else
 
[Chorus]
      G       D                 Em         D
But in communiqué you know he's gonna come clean
G             D    Em          D
Think what he say, say what he mean
G          D             Em           D
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say
G      Bm  A          Bm
Communication, communiqué
       | A   | A   | A   | A   | 2x
Communiqué
 
[Bridge]
           A
And now the rumours are flying, speculation rife
A
Say that he's been trying someone else's wife
    A
Somebody at the airport, somebody on the phone
A
Says he's at the station and he's coming home alone
 
[Verse 3]
Bm              G        A       Bm
Then we get the story, a serious breeze
      G                         A
And a photograph a-taken in the hall
    Bm                G              A          Bm
And you don't have to worry with the previous release
A     G                           A
Right now, he's saying nothing at all
 
[Chorus]
      G       D                 Em         D
But in communiqué you know he's gonna come clean
G             D    Em          D
Think what he say, say what he mean
G          D                 Em           D
Maybe on a Monday he'll have something to say
G      Bm  A          Bm
Communication, communiqué
       | A   | A   | A   | A   | 2x

[Outro]

Thanks for your work. I love every song on this album. Even if it needs a few tweaks, it saves a lot of time trying to figure out the basic chords. Any Dire Straits is appreciated.
