Romeo And Juliet chords by Indigo Girls

Chords with lyrics

ROMEO AND JULIET (Mark Knopfler)
--------------------------------
[This is the Indigo Girls' version, performed solo by Amy Ray.]
[Actually in D; capo 2.]
[The measures that say C* or Am* actually have some variation in them;
 the C majorC measures have a C(9) and CMaj9Cmaj9 at the end of the second measure,
 and the A minorAm measures go A minorAm Asus9 A minorAm AsusAsus A minorAm Asus9 Am. This is all spelled
 out at the end of this file, so refer there for details.]
["stop" in brackets means strum the chord once at the beginning of the
 measure; the "stopped" chords last two measures. All other chords are
 one measure. (You could think of the word "stop" as taking the place
 of one chord name.)]
[The G/B's in parentheses are short chords (anywhere from an eighth to a
 half measure) that usually come between C majorC and Am. Even where I didn't
 _write_ G/B, she often plays x22010 or x20010 between C majorC and Am.]

[C=332010 or x32010; Am=x02210; G=320003; F=x33211 or xx3211;
 F(9)=xx3213; G/B=x2000x.]

TAB:

The measures that I wrote as "C* C* Am* Am*" go something like this:

 C majorC           C(9) CMaj9Cmaj9 A minorAm  Asus9 A minorAm AsusAsus A minorAm Asus9 A minorAm
 |            \  |  |   \  /  /  |  /  /

It'll make sense once you try it. The middle and ring fingers change
the C majorC chord, and the index finger and pinky mess with the Am.
