# #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #------------------------------------------------------------------------------# 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.] C* C* Am* Am* [intro] C* C* Am* Am* [intro] C [stop] (G/B) Am [stop] A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade C [stop] (G/B) Am [stop] Now he's laying everybody low, he's got a love song that he made G G G [stop] He finds a convenient streetlight, and he, he steps out of the shade and he says something likeF You and mF(9)e, babe,G how aboGut it' C Juliet says, HCey, it's Romeo!Am He nearly gave me a Amheart attack, yeah well C C Am [stop] He's underneath my window, now she's singing, hey-la, my boyfriend's back G You shouldn't Gcome around hereG singing up to people Glike that OFh, anyway, F(9)whatcha gonna do abGout it' GJuliCet, G the dice were Floaded from the stF(9)art And I Cbet,G and you explFoded into my F(9)heart And I forgCet, I forGgetAm the movie Amsong G When you gonna reaGlize it was Gjust that the time was wrFongCJuliCe' Am Am C* C* Am* Am* [instrumental]C [stop] (G/B) Am [stop] We both come up on different streets, and they were both the streets of shame C [stop] (G/B) Am Am You know they're both dirty, both mean, yes and even the dreams were the sameG Well I dreamed your Gdream for you andG now your dream is rGeal, so tell me honey F Now how can you F(9)look at me as if I was Gjust another one of your dGeals'Now you can Cfall for chains of Csilver,Am and you can fall for chAmains of gold You know you,C you fall for Cpretty strangersAm and the promiAmses they hold G Well you promised me eGverything, and then you,G and then you promised me Gthick and thin F [stop] And now you just turn away and say, Romeo' I think I Gused to have a scene with GhimOh, JuliCet, G when we made lFove you used to crF(9)y You said IC love you like the stGars above, gonna Flove you till I dF(9)ie There's a Cplace for usG, Am I know you know this sAmong G Now when you gonna Grealize that it was Gjust that the time was wrFong'CJulieC, I'm Amso in loveAm, so in love C YeaCh Am Am(G/B) C C (G/B) Am [stop] But I can't do the talk, like they talk on my TV screen, and C C (G/B) Am Am I can't do a love song, not the way you sung them to meG I can't do anyGthing, but I would Gdo anything for Gyou, oh now F I can't do F(9)anything exceptG be in love with yGou, yeah nowC All I do is Cmiss youAm and the way you Amused to be, you know C C Am [stop] And all I do is keep the beat, I keep bad, bad company G And all I do is Gkiss youG through the bars of Gthis rhyme, well FJulie, I'd do the F(9)stars with youG anytiGmeOh, JuliCet, G when we made lFove you used to crF(9)y; you said I CLove you like the stGars above, I'm gonna Flove you till I dF(9)ie.

And he'll say something like, you and me, babe, how about it' 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 dIt'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. - Adam Schneider, [email protected]
