Once Upon a Time in the West (1979)
(Knopfler)
From: "Communique"
Great song to play on an acoustic! The signature changes may seem a little
tricky at first, but as they follow the vocals they're not a real problem:
don't count, just play along with the singer.
The bass does a lot in the verses. I added a skeleton of a tab below,
that includes the bass line wherever necessary/possible and the main
accents for strumming along.
I recorded a quick demo; check it out here:

And here's a good tab for the lead guitar, too:
