Tightrope The Stone Roses
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

My gold leafed triptych angel, she knows just what to do.
In the hal[E]f light of morning, in a world [E7sus4]between the sheets[A],
Dsus2 A Asus2 E5 E5 Dsus2
I swear I saw her angel wing, my vision was complete.
Dsus2 Asus2 E5 E5 
And I know I?ll never want another lover, my sweet.
Can there be mor[Dsus2]e in this world,

Than the joy of just watching you sleep?
I don?t know just what to feel,

Won?t someone tell me my love is real?

[E]Are we etched in stone[Dsus2] or just scratched in the sand,
[A]Waiting for the waves to come and re-[D]claim[A] the land.[E]
[E]Will the sun shine, all [Dsus2]sweetness and light,
[A] [Dsus2] [Asus2] [E]
Burn us to a cinder, our third stone sat---e---lite.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby[Dsus2], nine miles high,
[A]Striding through the clouds on m[Dsus2]y ribbon in the[E] sky.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby, one [Dsus2]thing I?ve found,
[A]I don?t know how to stop, and it?s a
[G]Long, lon[Bm]g, lo[E5]ng, long way down.
 E D  A E  E5  E5 
She?s all [E5]that ever mattered and al[Dsus2]l that ever will,
My cup [A]it runneth over, I?ll nev[Dsus2]er get [Asus2]my fill[E].
The boat[E]s in the harbour slip from [Dsus2]their chains,
[A]Head for new horizons, le[Dsus2]ts [Asus2]do the [E] same.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby[Dsus2], nine miles high,
[A]Striding through the clouds on m[Dsus2]y ribbon in the[E] sky.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby, one [Dsus2]thing I?ve found,
I [A]don?t know how to stop,
And it?s a tightr[E]ope, baby, nine[Dsus2] miles high,
[A]Striding through the clouds on m[Dsus2]y ribbon in the[E] sky.
I?m on a[E] tightrope, baby, one [Dsus2]thing I?ve found,
[A]I don?t know how to stop, and it?s a
[G]Long, lon[Bm]g, lo[E5]ng, long way down.
Love to all who play!!! Steve Holland
