- It's not often that I fall in love with a new song, but I have here.
This is my instrumental version of the fabulous "Our Shangri La" by Mark Knopfler.
I am playing it on my Squier Special, through my Korg AX3000G.
I hope you like it. Dave
p.s. I always recommend earphones, preferably earbuds, for a clear sound.

Lyrics
Now that you've found your paradise
This is your kingdom to command
You can go outside and polish your car
Or sit by the fire in your shangri-la
Here's your reward for working so hard
Gone are the lavatories in the backyard
Gone are the days when you dreamed of that car
You just want to sit in your shangri-la
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher
You're in your place and you know where you are
In your shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You can't go anywhere
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
The little man who gets the train
Got a mortgage hanging over his head
But he's too scared to complain
'Cause he's conditioned that way
Time goes by and he pays off his debts
Got a TV set and a radio
For seven shillings a week
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
And all the houses in the street have got a name
'Cause all the houses in the street, they look the same
Same chimney pots, same little cars, same window panes
The neighbours call to tell you things that you should know
They say their lines, they drink their tea, and then they go
They tell your business in another shangri-la
The gas bills and the water rates and payments on the car
Too scared to think about how insecure you are
Life ain't so happy in your little shangri-la
Shangri-la, shangri-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Put on your slippers and sit by the fire
You've reached your top and you just can't get any higher
You're in your place and you know where you are
In your shangri-la
Sit back in your old rocking chair
You need not worry, you need not care
You can't go anywhere
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la
Shangri-la

Thanks Dave, very good ! I’m wondering how do you like the Squire ? I have three and found with a good setup I like them well for an old man. (I’m 72 !)
Yes I like them a lot. They are comfortable to play and sound great.
🤓Hello Dave ! It is so nice, Thanks, Do you no from Germany " The Band - Die Flippers? in Germany the Titel is " Liebe ist nur mehr als eine Nacht" They are not more on the Street und hat finisch the Band .Is this one Titel for you ? Mit freundlichem Gruß Jörg
I have listened to it and it is my type of music. Wonderful.
Unfortunately I can't find a backing track for it, without which I can't play it. Sorry.
