Romeo and Juliet
Dire Straits
Making Movies 1980
Tabbed By Greg Harper quorockergreg@hotmail.co.uk
Now I know I'm going to get some smart arse
commenting on mistakes but this is for beginners.
I have simplified all the guitar parts but they
work just as well. No-one can play like Knopler,
so neither Me or You should try.
So if you have just started and want to learn
this song then use this tab.

A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade
F Dm Bb
Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made
C Bb C F
Finds a streetlight steps out of the shade
Bb C

F Dm C
Juliet says hey its Romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
F Am Bb
Hes underneath the window shes singing hey la my boyfriends back

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
F C Dm F
And I bet and you exploded in my heart

And I forget I forget the movie song
Gm F Bb C Dm F
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet ?
F Dm C
Come up on differents streets they both were streets of shame
F Dm Bb
Both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
C F C F
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
Bb C
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals ?
F C Dm C
When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
F Dm Bb C
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
Bb C F
You promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
Bb C
Now you just says oh Romeo yeah you know I used to have a scene with him
F C Dm Bb
Juliet when we made love you used to cry

There's a place for us you know the movie song
Gm F Bb C Dm C F
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet ?
F Dm C
I cant do the talk like they talk on tv
F Dm Bb
And I cant do a love song like the way its meant to be
C Bb C F
I cant do everything but I'd do anything for you
Bb C
I cant do anything except be in love with you
F Dm C
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
F Dm Bb
All do is keep the beat and bad company
C Bb C F
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
Bb C
Julie I'd do the stars with you any time
F C Dm Bb
Juliet when we made love you used to cry
F C Dm Bb
You said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die
C F C Bb Dm Bb
Theres a place for us you know the movie song
Gm F Bb C Dm C F
When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong Juliet ?
F Dm C
And a lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsus serenade
F Dm Bb
Laying everybody low with me a lovesong that he made
C Bb C F
Finds a convenient streetlight steps out of the shade
F C
Says something like you and me babe how about it ?
