Tightrope Written by John Squire Performed by the Stone Roses I feel almost privileged to be able to play this song''as it is an absolute masterpiece!!! '.the roses best'.(almost)!! It looks a lot harder than it is so just play about with the harder chord sequences until u get the hang of the changes. It sounds ssssoooooo good played electric or electro-accoustic but is still good on a battered '30 argos special!!!! The only thing u need to remember is to feel what John must have been feeling both playing and writing this song. I've even put the fill-ins in for u and u can play about with them to your hearts content as this is such a versatile tune!!!!!!! And some of the chords may be simplified if needed! ANYWAY NUFF SAID'''''''..NJOY!!! Any changes or alterations or questions to steve_ee@hotmail.com !! Also if anyone has any Toploader music could they drop me an e-m@il please Normal tuning applies Chords used:- E = 022100 E7sus4 = 020230 A = 002220 Dsus2 = **0230 Asus2 = *02200 E5 = 079900 B5alt = 024400 Asus4 = *02230 D = **0232 G = 320002 Bm = *24432

You shou^Eld have been an an^E7sus4gel, it wo^Auld have suited you, Dsus2 A Dsus2 Asus2 E5 E5  My gold leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do. In the hal^Ef light of morni^E7sus4ng, in a world betw^Aeen the sheets, Dsus2 A Asus2 E5 E5 Dsus2 I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete.

Dsus2 Asus2 E5 E5  And I know I'll never want another lover, my sweet.

Can there ^Dsus2be more in this world, Asus2 B5alt Than the joy of just watching you sleep'

I don't know just what to feel, E E7sus4 Won't someone tell me my love is real'  A Asus4 A  E E7sus4  A Asus4 A 

^EAre we etch^Dsus2ed in stone or just scratched in the sand, ^AWaiting for the wave^Ds to ^Acome and^E re-claim the land. ^EWill the sun ^Dsus2shine, all sweetness and light, ^ABurn us to a c^Dsus2inder, ^Asus2our thir^Ed stone sat---e---lite.

I'^Em on ^Dsus2a tightrope, baby, nine miles high, ^AStriding ^Dsus2through the cl^Eouds on my ribbon in the sky. I'^Em on a tigh^Dsus2trope, baby, one thing I've found, ^AI don't know how to stop, and it's a ^GLong, lon^Bmg, lo^E5ng, long way down.

She's all ^E5that ever mattere^Dsus2d and all that ever will, My cup ^Ait runn^Dsus2eth over^Asus2, I'll n^Eever get my fill. The boat^Es in the harbour^Dsus2 slip from their chains, ^AHead for new h^Dsus2orizons,^Asus2 lets ^E do the same.

I'^Em on ^Dsus2a tightrope, baby, nine miles high, ^AStriding ^Dsus2through the cl^Eouds on my ribbon in the sky. I'^Em on a tigh^Dsus2trope, baby, one thing I've found, I ^Adon't know how to stop,

And it's a tightr^Eope, ^Dsus2baby, nine miles high, ^AStriding ^Dsus2through the cl^Eouds on my ribbon in the sky. I'^Em on a tigh^Dsus2trope, baby, one thing I've found, ^AI don't know how to stop, and it's a ^GLong, lon^Bmg, lo^E5ng, long way down.

Love to all who play!!! Steve Holland
