  • The intro starts out with a D-structured F chord: strum and then pick out
    the first three notes, then strum again. Next, pick the last three notes
    of the F chord and slide the picking down the E-string to a Bb chord:
  •  
    F(D-struct) Bb (strum a few times)
    E---5------------------5-------------5--3--0-----1--------------------
  • B---6----------6-------6----------6--------------3--------------------
    G---5-------5----------5-------5-----------------3--------------------
    D---7----7------------------------------------------------------------
  • A---------------------------------------------------------------------
    E---------------------------------------------------------------------
     
  • Now pick on the E-string back up to the D-struct. F chord and pick those
    first 3 notes again, then strum. Now quickly move to a downward sweep pick
    on the F chord barred at the first fret (plus the unfretted E-string note),
  • which leads back to the Bb:
     
    F(D-struct) F(barred,1st fret) Bb(strum...)
  • --0h1--3----5----------------5------------------1-----0----1---------
    ------------6----------6-----6---------------1--------------3---------
    ------------5-------5--------5------------2-----------------3---------
  • ------------7----7---------------------3------------------------------
    ------------------------------------3---------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  •  
     
    Now it's back up the E-string to the D-struct F for more of the same
  • (the rest of the band kicks in here and starts to obscure things).
     
    F(D-struct) Bb(strum...)
  • --0h1--3----5------------------5-------------5--3--0-----1------------
    ------------6---------6--------6----------6--------------3------------
    ------------5------5-----------5-------5-----------------3------------
  • ------------7---7-----------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  •  
    This time on the way back up to the D-struct F we play the A and G notes
    on the E-string. Then do the D-struct F thing again, then do a quick
  • downward seep-pick on the open C chord, with the high G note added (1st
    string at 3rd fret). An open E-string then leads to the Bb.
    Then it's up to the D-struct F for the start of the lyrics:
  •  
    F(D-struct) Bb(strum/pick...)
    --5--3------5-------------5------------------3---0---1-------0h1--3--- etc
  • ------------6---------5---6---------------1----------3----------------
    ------------5------6------5------------0-------------3----------------
    ------------7---7-------------------2---------------------------------

  • F(Dstruct) Dm (open) C(open) F(1st fret)
    A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
     
  • F(1st fret) C(open) Dm(open) Bb
    Laying everybody low with the love song that he made
     
  • C(barre 3rd fret) Bb C(3rd fret) F(1st fret)
    Finds a streetlight Steps out of the shade, says something like
     
  • Bb C(3rd fret)
    you and me, babe, how about it?
     
  • Then add that nice little riff:
     
    --0--0-----------
  • --------3--1----- Followed by strumming F(1st fret).
    --------------3--
     
  • F(1st fret) C(open) Dm(open)
    Juliet says, "Hey, it's Romeo! you nearly gave me a 'eart attack!"
     
  • C(open) F(1st fret) C(open) Dm(open) Bb
    He's underneath the window, she's singing "Hey la my boyfriend's back
     
  • C(3rd fret) Bb C(3rd fret) F(1st fret)
    Shouldn't come around here, singing up at people like that
     
  • Bb C(3rd fret)
    Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
     
  • F(1st fret) C(3rd fret) Dm(5th fret) C(3rd fret) Bb
    Juliet the dice was loaded from the start
     
  • C(3rd fret) F(1st fret) C(3rd fret) Dm(5th fret) C(3rd fret) Bb
    And I bet and you exploded into my heart
     
  • C F C Bb Dm(open) Bb
    And I forget, I forget, the movie song
     
  •  
    Gm F Bb C B C F
    --3-- When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet
  • --3--
    --3--
     
  • And now you can do the downward sweep-picking on the F(1st fret) to get
    to the Bb, then pick up the E-string to get to the D-struct F again. That's
    about it (at least, that's as much as I'm able to do).
