STONE ROSES - "tightrope" Tablature

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!!!!
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!!!!!

Are we etched in stone or just scratched in the sand,
A D A E
Waiting for the waves to come and re-claim the land.

Head for new horizons, lets do the same.

Striding through the clouds on my ribbon in the sky.
