TightropeStevie Ray Vaughan
INTRO 2x Verse 1:B9
Caught up in a world wind Can't catch my breath, Knee deep in hot water Brake out in cold sweat Can't catch the turtle In this rat race Abm E9 Feels like I'm losing time At breakneck pace. INTRO 2x Verse 2: B9 Afraid of my own shadow 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 Abm E9 Thank God it never found me Would've been the end 1st half of INTRO x2 Chorus 1:E9
Walking the tightrope B9 Steppin on my friends E9 Walking the tightrope B9 Was a shame and a sin E9 Walking the tightrope B9 Between wrong and right A E9 Walking the tightrope B (hold) Both day and night Riff 1 Solo 1: B9(x8) E9(x4) B9(x4) F#9(x2) E9(x2) B9(x4) B9(x8) E9(x4) B9(x4) F#9(x2) E9(x2) INTRO x2Hold 2 measures Verse 3: B9 Lookin back in front of 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 Abm E9 My heart goes out to others Who are there to make amends 1st half of INTRO x2
Chorus 2:E9
Walking the tightrope B9 Try to make it right E9 Walking the tightrope B9 Every day and every night E9 Walking the tightrope B9 Bring it all around A E9 Walking the tightrope From the lost to found 1st half of INTRO x2
Chorus 3:E9
Walking the tightrope B9 Stretchin round the world E9 Walking the tightrope B9 Save the boys and girls E9 Walking the tightrope B9 Let's make it right E9 Walking the tightrope B9 Do it do it tonight E9 Walking the tightrope Continue alternating E9 and B9 w/solo
