Tuning:Standard
I believe this wonderful song by Mark Knopfler was on the Single to "Cannibals".
In any case it's an amazing song, if you want to listen to it you can find it on Youtube.
The main riff is going through the whole song, with several small changes everytime Knopfler
repeats it. I think
it is mostly correct, though I'm not sure about the beginning.
The Chords are are a bit tricky, if you want to play along to the lyrics the chords
should do just fine.
But on the record Knopfler integrates small melody changes in every chord. For example he
plays the F chord
and then plays a D instead of a C the second time.
So you have
e|--------------|
B|---6-6-6-6----|
G|---5-7-5-7----|
D|---7-7-7-7----|
A|--------------|
E|--------------|
Or at least something like that, when he's playing F, but the melody is always F.
Anyway, everything should be rougly correct so enjoy playing the song.

Now if i was to sing for you
A song you never heard
And give it to you my finest treasure
Would you look at what I bring to you
Turn without a word
Leave me at your gate
Keep me waiting at your pleasure
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Maybe never
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Forever

Well I'll beat a lion heart tattoo
I'll bring you pipes and drums
I'll bring you boots of burnished leather
I'll set to sea in ships for you
Brave a thousand drums
Ride a hurricane
Laugh at any stormy weather
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Maybe never
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Forever

You set no store by gems and gold
You score on my weather chart
You are not concerned with men's advances
I want you more a hundred-fold
When you lift my heart
I'll burn no other flame
Bear noone else's lance
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Maybe never
What have I
What have I got
What have I got to do
To win your love
Forever
