DIRE STRAITS - "romeo and juliet 2" Tablature

Official DIRE STRAITS Tablature & Sheet Music »

Song: Romeo & Juliet - Intro
Band: Dire Straits
Album: Making Movies
Tabbed by Mike Peppit (mikepeppit@hotmail.com) 1/4/02
Capo must be on the third fret. Therefore third fret is played as an open string making it much easier. (Knopfler does it as well!)

I think this is pretty close to the real thing, give or take a few notes and it's more accurate than the tabs I've found. The tricky bit is playing it as fast as Knopfler does! Any corrections or additions are welcome.
