   [B9]           [E9]       [A]      [G]          
Are A and G parts of the verse?? It seems to me the chords to the
verses were B9 (As above) G#m E9 and the intro stuff following that. I've
written this against the lyrics I got from nevada.----UJDB9
Caught up in a world wind cant catch my breath, knee deep in hot water

broke out in cold sweat, cant catch the turtle in this rat race feels like
I'm l[G#m7]osing tim[E9]e at breakneck pace.[E-D-B7]The chor[A-G-E]us is quite correct...(As Chuck Dolese wrote below..) except the A and
G below should (IMHO) be replaced by A and E9(?)......UJD.


  People walking the t[E9]ightrope trying to make it r[B9]ight
  [E9]Walking the tightrope  every day and every nigh[B9]t etc...repeat order of chord
  Walking the t[E9]ightrope                      [B9]
A G (intro) Solo is played in the key of B
yes --UJDPLEASE COMMENT ON THESE ...(all you good for nothing SRV fans)

Song::

INTRO 2x

Verse 1:
  Caught up in a world wi[B9]nd
Can't catch my breath,
Knee deep in hot water
Brake out in cold sweat
Can't catch the turtle
In this rat race
  Feels like I'm losing [Abm]time [E9]
At breakneck pace.

INTRO 2x

Verse 2:
  Afraid of my own shad[B9]ow
In the face of grace
Heart full of darkness
Spotlight on my face
There was love all around me
But I was looking for revenge
  Thank God it never found [Abm]me   [E9]
Would've been the end

MIDRO 2x

Chorus 1:
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Steppin on my frien[B9]ds
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Was a shame and a s[B9]in
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Between wrong and r[B9]ight
  Walking the [A]tightrope [E]
  Both day and [B]night

MINIRO 1x

Solo 1:
(I don't have time yet to type it in.)
(rhythm uses standard blues progression in B)
B9 E9 ...

then solo ends ...

INTRO 2x

Verse 3:
  Lookin back in front of [B9]me
In the mirror's a grin
Through eyes of love I see
I'm really lookin at a friend
There's a whole lot of problems
That's the way life is
  My heart goes out to [Abm]other[E9]s
Who are there to make amends

MIDRO 2x

Chorus 2:
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Try to make it righ[B9]t
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Every day and every[B9] night
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Bring it all around[B9] (?)
  Walking the [A]tightrope [E]
  From the lost[B] to found

MIDRO 2x

Chorus 3:
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Stretchin round the[B9] world
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Save the boys and g[B9]irls
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Let's make it right[B9]
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
  Do it do it tonight[B9]
  Walking the tightro[E9]pe
Solo 2:

let it rip and fade out.
