Romeo And Juliet (Ver2) by Dire Straits

Tab

2.3/5 (3 votes)

I have added a count to
indicate the beat under each line of tab, and a & to indicate the half beat.
This should make the classy tricky timing of the finger picking a little easier to decipher.

Chords which only take up half a beat are shown as <A>.

Good luck with it and I hope you enjoy.

VERSE:

D    |           |      A
  A love-struck Romeo
  Bm              |       |        A
     sings the streets a serenade
D  |           |        A
  Laying everybody low
Bm         |          |      |
   with a love song that he made
A  |         |        | <G>
  Finds a streetlight,
  A       |  <G>   D   | <A>
steps out of the shade
G                 |             |       |
  Says something like "you and me babe,
      A        | | |
how about it?"



CHORUS

    D  |  A      |        Bm      |  <A>   G
Juliet,     the dice was loaded from the start
 | <A>  D  | A       |      Bm   | <A>  G
And I bet      yeah you exploded in my heart
    A     D  |     G   |   Bm      |     G   |
And I forget I forget         the movie song
Em   |             |      | <A>     G
   When you gonna realize   it was just that the
  |   <A>   Bm   A     D
 time was wrong,   Juliet?
