Tightrope The Stone Roses
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

Dsus2 A Dsus2 Asus2 E5 E5
My gold leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do.
In the hal[E]f light of morning, in a world [E7sus4]between the sheets[A],
Dsus2 A Asus2 E5 E5 Dsus2
I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete.
Dsus2 Asus2 E5 E5
And I know I?ll never want another lover, my sweet.
Can there be mor[Dsus2]e in this world,
Asus2 B5alt
Than the joy of just watching you sleep?
I don?t know just what to feel,
E E7sus4
Won?t someone tell me my love is real?
A Asus4 A E E7sus4 A Asus4 A
[E]Are we etched in stone[Dsus2] or just scratched in the sand,
[A]Waiting for the waves to come and re-[D]claim[A] the land.[E]
[E]Will the sun shine, all [Dsus2]sweetness and light,
[A] [Dsus2] [Asus2] [E]
Burn us to a cinder, our third stone sat---e---lite.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby[Dsus2], nine miles high,
[A]Striding through the clouds on m[Dsus2]y ribbon in the[E] sky.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby, one [Dsus2]thing I?ve found,
[A]I don?t know how to stop, and it?s a
[G]Long, lon[Bm]g, lo[E5]ng, long way down.
E D A E E5 E5
She?s all [E5]that ever mattered and al[Dsus2]l that ever will,
My cup [A]it runneth over, I?ll nev[Dsus2]er get [Asus2]my fill[E].
The boat[E]s in the harbour slip from [Dsus2]their chains,
[A]Head for new horizons, le[Dsus2]ts [Asus2]do the [E] same.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby[Dsus2], nine miles high,
[A]Striding through the clouds on m[Dsus2]y ribbon in the[E] sky.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby, one [Dsus2]thing I?ve found,
I [A]don?t know how to stop,
And it?s a tightr[E]ope, baby, nine[Dsus2] miles high,
[A]Striding through the clouds on m[Dsus2]y ribbon in the[E] sky.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby, one [Dsus2]thing I?ve found,
[A]I don?t know how to stop, and it?s a
[G]Long, lon[Bm]g, lo[E5]ng, long way down.
Love to all who play!!! Steve Holland
