GOING HOME (MARK KNOPFLER)


About 

Main Theme of „Local Hero“. The tune perfectly captures the film‘s sentimental mood. I believe it became even more popular than the movie it was written for. 

 

Original Key

D

 

Tuning 

Drop DG [ DGDgbe ]

 

Tab Notes

The arrangement has the full intro and the main theme. Even though there are lots of tab versions around on the web, I find most of them somewhat incomplete, lacking some bottom. So I tried some other tuning to accompany the melody line when it goes to the higher regions of the fretboard. The ending is the result of trying to avoid the drum end of the original recording (which, sorry to say, I find rather clumsy).
