Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet
Making Movies 1980
Tabbed By Greg Harper   *

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.
