Capo on 2nd fret, Key of C -> D Some explanation before you try to play this: when I put C for two measures in the verse or Am for two measures in the verse, it's really: C | C(9) C Cmaj9 | Am Asus9 Am Asus | Am Asus9 Am | Does that make any sense? Didn't think so; here's some tab, which may or may not be accurate with respect to rhythm: C C(9) C Cmaj9 Am Asus9 Am Asus Am Asus9 Am | | | | | \ / / | / | E 0---0-0---0-0-0-|0---0-0---0-0---|0---0-0-0-0---0-|--0---0---0-0---| B 1---1-1---1-1-1-|1---1-1---1-1---|1---1-1-0-1---3-|--1---0---0-1---| G 0---0-0---0-0-0-|0---0-0---0-0---|2---2-2-2-2---2-|--2---2---2-2---| D 2---2-2---2-2-2-|0---0-2---2-0---|2---2-2-2-2---2-|--2---2---2-2---| A 3---3-3---3-3-3-|3---3-3---3-2---|0---0-0-0-0---0-|--0---0---0-0---| E 3---3-3---3-3-3-|3---3-3---3-3---|----------------|----------------| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ It'll make sense once you try it. The middle finger changes the C chord, and the index finger and pinky mess with the Am. Remember, capo at the 2nd fret. Note that all the verses and all the choruses have the same chords. C C Am Am (intro) C C Am Am (intro) C C Am Am A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade C C Am Am Laying everybody low with a love song that he made G G G G Finds a convenient streetlight, steps out of the shade, says something like F F G G You and me, babe, how about it?

C G F F (sometimes, maybe F = F(9)) Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start C G F F And I bet, and you exploded into my heart C G Am Am And I forget, I forget the movie song G G G F When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, C C Am Am Julie? C C Am Am We both come up on different streets, and they were both the streets of shame; you know they're Both dirty, both mean, yes and even the dreams were the same Well I dreamed your dream for you, and now your dream is real, so tell me, honey Now how can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals? Now you can Pawn the chains of silver, and you can pawn the chains of gold. You know you, You fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold Well you promised me everything, and then you promised me thick and thin And now you Just turn away and say, Romeo? I think I used to have a scene with him. Oh, Juliet, when we made love you used to cry you said I Love you like the stars above, gonna love you till I die. There's a Place for us, I know you know this song Now when you gonna realize that it was just that the time was wrong? Julie, I'm so in love, so in love Yeah. But I can't do the talk like they talk on my TV screen, and I can't do a love song, not the way you sung it to me I can't do anything, but I would do anything for you, oh now I can't do anything except be in love with you, yeah now, All I do is miss you and the way you used to be, you know And all I do is keep the beat, I keep bad, bad company. And all I do is kiss you through the bars of this rhyme, well Julie, I'd do the stars with you anytime Oh, Juliet, when we made love you used to cry; you said "I Love you like the stars above, I'm gonna love you till I die. There's a Place for us, I know you know the movie song One day we're gonna realize that it was just that the time was wrong Julie, Julie Julie Well this lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade Laying everybody low, he's got a love song that he made He finds a convenient streetlight, and he'll step out of the shade, and he'll say something like "You and me, babe, how about it?"
