Why Worry is a Dire Straits tune released in 1985 on the Brothers In Arms album.

A live version of this tune from “An Evening with Mark Knopfler” keeps popping up on my YouTube feed lately.

What I have here is a fairly easy solo acoustic arrangement of the intro. The intro goes through the whole song form. So just use the indicated chord changes in the intro to play the rest of the tune. I used the live version key which is D. The studio version was in E. This can be played straight finger style or pick and fingers. As always, I’ve provided a link to a PDF with standard notation, tablature and the chord changes.

There is also a PDF with some alternate ways to play a few of the measures.

The video demonstrates what it sounds like and a tutorial/breakdown of the arrangement.
