Version 1 Version 2 Version 3Your Latest Trick by Dire Straits from Brothers In Arms album For any questions mail me to This is a chords for album version of the song. Please note that live version contains exact same verses, but on album part of verses alternates between [B-C#m-B-C#] and [B-C#m-B/D#-C#/F] all three times. Live version also have [E-F#m] progression after 'All I can do' instead of [E/G#-A]. Note suspended chords in the intro, you can simplify it to B and B/A or play it like sus in the song too. Two chords in particular — F#m9b5 and D13#11 are very tricky to play on a guitar, so I replaced these with more approrpiate Am6 and D9. Good luck!
