Tightrope Chords - Stone Roses






Tightrope
Written by John Squire
Performed by the Stone Roses

I feel almost privileged to be able to play this song??as it is an
absolute masterpiece!!! ?.the roses best?.(almost)!!
It looks a lot harder than it is so just play about with the harder
chord sequences until u get the hang of the changes.
It sounds ssssoooooo  good played electric or electro-accoustic but
is still good on a battered ?30 argos special!!!!
The only thing u need to remember is to feel what John must have
been feeling both playing and writing this song. I?ve even put the
fill-ins in for u and u can play about with them to your hearts
content as this is such a versatile tune!!!!!!! And some of the
chords may be simplified if needed!
            ANYWAY NUFF SAID???????..NJOY!!!

 Any changes or alterations or questions to
                  steve_ee@hotmail.com  !!

Also if anyone has any Toploader music could they drop me an e-m@il please
