Romeo & Juliet

Romeo & Juliet - Dire Straits Cover by Hannah Jane

In these days of uncertainty... I have decided to pick up my guitar and learn 3 chord versions of all the songs that have been stuck in my learning list for, well, ever :)

And maybe one day I'll get to sing them for real, some place, some time, some how.

For now - Romeo & Juliet ...from me to you xHannah

Lyrics -

A lovestruck Romeo, sings the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made

Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade

Says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"

Juliet says, "hey, it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"

He's underneath the window, she's singing "hey, la, my boyfriend's back

You shouldn't come around here, singing up people like that

Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"

Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start

And I bet, and you exploded in my heart

And I forget, I forget, the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet

Come up on different streets, both were streets of shame

Both dirty, both mean, yeah and the dream was just the same

And I dream your dream for you and now your dream is real

How can you look at me, as if I was just another one of your deals?

Well, you can fall for chains of silver, fall for chains of gold

You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold

You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah

Now you just say, "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry

I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you till I die"

And there's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet

I can't do the talk, like the talk on the TV

And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be

I can't do everything, but I'd do anything for you

I can't do anything except be in love with you

And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be

All I do is keep the beat, and the bad company

And all I do is kiss you, through the bars of a rhyme

Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time

Juliet, when we made love, you used to cry

I said, "I love you like the stars above, I love you till I die"

And there's a place for us, you know the movie song

When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong? Juliet.

A lovestruck Romeo, sings sings the streets a serenade

Laying everybody low, with a love song that he made

Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade

Says something like "you and me babe, how about it?" SHOW LESS
