This tab is written from Mark Knopfler's "Official Video". (Link Below) It is designed for playing with a rhythm guitar. Thus I have simplified some of the chords for ease of play. For instance the Intro and First Verse should have a G bass throughout. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R53Qw-NbF1c.Was this info helpful?

[Verse]
          G                           D/F#         G
She was swinging by the bangles in a main street store
G/B                  C
  A while before we met
          G
The most dangerous angels that you ever saw
      C            D/F#
She spied her amulet
 
        G                           D/F#       G
And she took a loop of leather for around her neck
G/B                        C
   And that was then the start
         G
The most dangerous lady on her quarter deck
     C                D/F#  G
She found her golden heart
C             D/F#    G     G
  Found your golden heart
 
[Verse 2]
          G                                 D/F#       G
Then we swirled around each other and the thread was spun
G/B                  C
   To some Arcadian band
        G
I would stop it from swinging like a pendulum
C                       D/F#
Just to hold time in my hand
 
          G                           D/F#  G
And you shot me with a cannonball of history
G/B                   C
   And long forgotten art
       G
I'd be turning it over as our words ran free
C                       D/F# G
  I'd hold your golden heart
C                D       G   G
  I'd hold your golden heart
 
[Bridge]
     C                       D        Em  G/D   C     Em   Am    G/B
And nothing in the world prepared me for your heart, your heart
C                         D   Em  G/D       C      Em   Am     D/F#
Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart
     Cmaj7/G  D/F#    D/F#
Your golden   heart
 
[Chorus]
              G           G/B    C     G
Your golden heart, your golden heart
              G           G/B    C   D
Your golden heart, your golden heart
 
[Solo]
| G      | D/F# G | G/B   | C      |
| G      | G      | C     | D/F#   |
| G      | D/F# G | G/B   | C      |
| G      | G      | C     | D/F# G |
| C D/F# | G      | G     |
 
[Verse 3]
          G                               D       G
And every time I'm thinking of you from a distant shore
G/B                C
And all the time I sleep
       G/D
I will have a reminder that my baby wore
C/E              D/F#
A part of you to keep
 
          G                         D/F#
And I'll send you all my promises across the sea
G/B                  C
  And while we are apart
        G
I will carry the wonder that you gave to me
      C                D/F#  G
I'll wear your golden heart
      C         D       G
I'll wear your golden heart
 
[Bridge]
     C                       D        Em  G/D   C     Em   Am    G/B
And nothing in the world prepared me for your heart, your heart
C                         D   Em  G/D       C      Em   Am     D/F#
Nothing in the world that I love more your heart, your heart
     Cmaj7/G  D
Your golden   heart
 
[Chorus]
              G           G/B    C     G
Your golden heart, your golden heart
              G           G/B    C   D/F#
Your golden heart, your golden heart
              G           G/B    C     G
Your golden heart, your golden heart
        C  D/F#  G    (Fade out)
