Subject: CRD: Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straights



	Here are the chords for Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straights.  
	all of the usual diclaimers/excuses apply.  

	I took it from "Money for Nothing", the greatest hits CD.
	To hear some great solo work, see the live versions on Alchemy(?)

	First of all, you capo on the fith fret and then play the intro chords
	as you would in first position (i.e. play the Fas (133211@1)afirst (x02210@1)position C,
	the Dmas (xx0231@1)afirst (x02210@1)position Am, etc)  then you will find that the intro
	is asimple (x02210@1)fingerpicking of the chords, don't have to hardly move 
	the hands!

	*NOTE* I wrote the actual chords out, not the normal thing of writing
	out the chords as if in first position referenced to the capo.  Sorry
	about this, but I play it in first position while by friend plays 
	the capo'd part, so it was easier for me to write it this way.  here is 	the conversion:

	Actual chord     Play Capo'd as first position
	F (133211@1)(x87565)      C (x32010@1)Dm(x57765) (xx0231@1)     Am (x02210@1)C (x32010@1)(875558)      G (320003@1)Bb(688766) (x1333x@1)     F (133211@1)	Gm(xx5786) (355333@1)     Dm (xx0231@1)

	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 ascene (x02210@1)with him.

	I can't do alove (x02210@1)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 arhyme (x02210@1)	Juliet I'd do the stars with you anytime.
