Romeo And Juliet chords by Indigo Girls

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 measures have a C(9) and Cmaj9 at the end of the second measure,
 and the Am measures go Am Asus9 Am Asus Am 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 and Am.  Even where I didn't
 _write_ G/B, she often plays x22010 or x20010 between C 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                     C(9) Cmaj9  Am   Asus9 Am Asus Am  Asus9 Am
  |                       \    |    |      \   /   /   |    /   /
E 0---0-0---0-0---|--0---0-0-0-0-0-|0---0-0-0-----0-|--0---0-----0---|
B 1---1-1---1-1---|--1---1-1-1-1-1-|1---1-1-0h1---3-|--1---0--h1-1---|
G 0---0-0---0-0---|--0---0-0-0-0-0-|2---2-2-2-----2-|--2---2-----2---|
D 2---2-2---2-2---|--2---2-0-0-0-0-|2---2-2-2-----2-|--2---2-----2---|
A 3---3-3---3-3---|--3---3-3-3-2-2-|0---0-0-0-----0-|--0---0-----0---|
E 3---3-3---3-3---|--3---3-3-3-3-3-|----------------|----------------|
  ^   ^   ^   ^    ^   ^   ^   ^    ^   ^   ^   ^    ^   ^   ^   ^
  d   d u   u d      u   u d u d u  d   d u d     u    u   u     d

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