Romeo and Juliet Dire Straits

Intro:

[F] [Bb] x4

Capo 3rd Fret

Verse I:

[F]A lovestruck Rome[C]o [Dm]sings the streets a serenad[C]e[F]

[F]Laying everybody [C]low [Dm] with a love song [Bb]that he made

[C]Finds a street [Bb]light [C]steps out into the sh[F]ade

Says something like[Bb] you and me babe, how [C]about it?

[F]Juliet says hey it's Romeo,[C] [Dm]you nearly gave me a heart attack [C] [F]

[F]He's underneath the window[C], [Dm] hey la my [Bb]boyfrends back

[C]you shouldn't come around he[Bb]re [C] singing up to people like [F]that

A[Bb]nyway, what you gonna do a[C]bout it?

Chorus I:

[F]Juliet [C]the dice was l[Dm]oaded from[C] the st[Bb]art

[F]And I b[C]et, and you ex[Dm]ploded into[C] my hear[Bb]t.

And I f[F]orget, I forge[Dm]t,[Bb] you know the movie song

[Gm]When you gonna realize [F] it was [Bb]just that the [C]time was [Dm]wrong [C] Juli[F]et?

Verse II:

Come up on different streets, they both the streets of shame

Both dirty both mean, yes and even and dream was just the same

And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real.

How can you look at me as if I was just another part of your deal

Well you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold.

you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold

You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin yeah

Now you just say oh Romeo yeah, I used to have a scene with him.

Chorus II:

Juliet when we made love you used to cry

you said I love you like the stars above I'll love you till I die

There's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong Juliet?

Verse III:

I can't do the talk, like they talk on the tv

I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.

I can't do anything, but I'd do anything for you.

I cant't do anything but be in love with you.

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be

All I do is keep the beat and bad company.

All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme

Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime.

Repeat Chorus II:

Verse IV:

A love struck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade.

Now he's laying everymody low, with a love song that he made.

Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade

Says something like you and me babe how about it

Outro:

Bb C (as long as the lead player can do those tasty fills)

I believe in the chorus on "I forget, I forget" should be F/Bb/Dm/Bb
