Can any of you experienced musicians out there please help me with identifying a chord in the Dire Straits song:
Why Worry?

About bar 27-28 (the timing adjusts just before) after the introduction and just before the start of the vocal, there is a high piano/harpsichord piece that runs down through various notes that discord with the chord that I've been using. I've tried everything I can think of. It may need a few different chords for the 2-3 bars involved.



It's just a straight A Major chord. The piano is playing a bunch of decorating notes on top of this chord.
He's playing the song in the key of D Major so it's the dominant chord in that key.
If you are playing the song in the key of C Major, then the chord you are looking for is a straight G Maj.
