Romeo And Juliet Chords & Tabs
Romeo and Juliet
Dire Straits
Making Movies 1980
Now I know I'm going to get some smart arse
commenting on mistakes but this is for beginners.
I have simplified all the guitar parts but they
work just as well. No-one can play like Knopler,
so neither Me or You should try.
So if you have just started and want to learn
this song then use this tab.
