Send "Romeo juliet" Ringtone to your Cell
I got frustrated at finding tabs for this song which were either too simple and not enough like the original, or which were really close to the original and couldn't really be played and sung solo. So I attempted to get the spirit of the original but in a way which could be played by myself on acoustic and left room to improvise as I played. This is why I like the dropped D tuning on it. I also get frustrated at the lack of timing indications given in most tabs. I have added a count to indicate the beat under each line of tab, and a & to indicate the half beat. This should make the classy tricky timing of the finger picking a little easier to decipher. Chords which only take up half a beat are shown as . Good luck with it and I hope you enjoy.
