Dire Straits - Romeo & Juilet guitar tab

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!
