Tightrope Chords

(ver. 3)
Stone Roses
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

Also if anyone has any Toploader music could they drop me an e-m@il please
