"Walk of Life" is a 1985 song by the British rock band Dire Straits. It appeared on their best-selling album Brothers in Arms. It subsequently appeared on their live album On the Night. It was released as a single in 1986 but had first been available as the b-side of "So Far Away" released in advance of Brothers in Arms. The track peaked at number 7 in the US charts and was their biggest commercial hit in the UK, peaking at number 2. The song was nearly excluded from the album when the co-producer Neil Dorfsman voted against its inclusion, but the rest of the band out-voted him. A simple rock 'n' roll rhythm is used, with chord changes limited to the famous I, IV and V chords. The long introduction has become iconic, with an instantly recognizable and tuneful hammond organ line. The lyrics reference oldies, including "I Got a Woman", "Be-Bop-A-Lula", "What'd I Say" and "Mack the Knife". Dire.    Download this sheet!
