"CANNIBALS" by Mark Knopfler
from the album "Golden Heart"
transcribed by Michal Ludwiczak
=================================

Hello,
This song is pretty easy to play once you get the right feeling. The key is
to play the notes marked '^' a bit louder, making them more stand out and
at the same time play them staccato (make them short, distinguished from the
next played note). That's about it. Listen to the recording to get the idea
of what I mean.

Intro and chorus (repeat this pattern as many times as needed):
