Ok, there have been a few alterations, because as with all my tabs, they are an on going
work in progress. However, i have studies the video of this song endlessly, and played this
song through both on my guitar and in my head thousands of times, and im now very confident
that this is not only 99% correct, but also tabbed the same way that mark knopfler himself
plays it. Unforunately for some of you, this makes the song quite a bit harder to play than
my last tab of it, but it sounds a lot better.. so keep trying if you dont get it first time :D

(This version of Local Hero is on the album "On the Night"
and its also track 16 (the last track) of the Sultans of Swing very best
of dire straits album)
