Romeo and Juliet Dire Straits
Song: Romeo And Juliet
Artist: Dire Straits
Composer Writer: Mark Knopfler
Album: Making Movies
Tabbed By: Joe Thelwell
Capo on Third.
All chords etc are relative to the capo.
I play this on my acoustic and i think it sounds really
close to the Dire Straits version, which i'm quite proud
of since it's one of my favourite songs. It's not
perfect in places but hey, it's only my second attempt
at writing a tab!
