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--------------------------------- ---------------------------------3------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
F ( D struct) Dm (open) C (open) F (1st fret) А 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).
