Tab

This is tabbed for a 24 hole Echo Celeste tremolo


This starts out with a D harp and changes to an E harp near the end of the song, if just playing for fun and you don’t have two harps you can use the same harp and it will still sound fine.

We were both young when I first saw you  
-3   5    5   5
 I close my eyes  
 5   5   -4    5     -5
And the flashback starts  
 5   -4  5    -3
I'm standing there  
5  5  5  -4 -3  4   4 -3  -3
On a bal-co-ny  in summer air  
 5   5     5
See the lights,  
 5   5  -4 -4  5   -5    5
See the party the ball gowns  
-3  5   5   5     5  -4    -4     5   -5
 I see you make your way through the crowd 
 5   -4 5 -3   5 -4  -3  4  -3
And say hello little did I know  
 -2   5   5   5 5 5
That you were Romeo 
 5   5    -4  5    -5 5
You were throwing pebbles  
 4  -3  5 5    5    5  5 5   5   7 -6 6
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet  
 6  6  -5  6 -5  6   -5   6   6
And I was crying on the staircase  
 -5  5   -5   -5     5   -6   6  6  -5
Begging you please don't go, and I said  
5 5 -6 6 5 -5   -5   -5  -5  5  6  5 -5 
Rome-o take me somewhere we can be alone  
5     -5   6  -5 
I'll  be  waiting 
 5    5      -5   5  6 5  -5 
All there's left to do is run  
  5    -5  5    6
You'll be the prince 
-5   5   -5  5   6  -5 
And I'll be the princess  
 5   5 -5    6 5  6 4   6    6  -5 
It's a Love Story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you  
6   6    6 6
We keep quiet 
   6    6    -5  -5  6    -6
Cause we're dead if they knew  
5   -4    5    -3
So close your eyes  
   5     5    5  -3  4 -4 -3   -3
Escape this town for a little while  
-2     5   5   5 5 5
Cause you were Romeo 
5   5 5  -4  5   -5 5
I was a scarlet letter  
4   -3  5 5    5    5  5 5   5   7 -6 6
And my daddy said stay away from juliet  
 6   6  -5   6 -5  6    -5  6
But you were everything to me  
6  6   -5  5   -5
I was begging you 
 5 -5    5   -6  6  6  -5
please don't go and I said  
5 5 -6  6  -5   -5   -5  -5  5  6  5 -5  
Rome-o take me somewhere we can be alone  
 5   -5  5  -5

 5   5      -5   5  6  5  -5 
All there's left to do is run  
  5    -5  5    6
You'll be the prince 
-5   5   -5  5   6  -5 
And I'll be the princess  
 5   5 -5    6  6 6 4   6    6  -5 
It's a love story baby just say yes  
5 5 -6  6   -5
Rome-o save me, 
  5  -5  -5  -5  5   6  5   -5 
They try to tell me how to feel  
 5   -5   6   5 -5  5  
This love is difficult,
5   -5    5   6 5 -5 5
But it's for real,  
 5    -5  5 6 
Don't be afraid  
-5     5   5  -5  5   5   6 5 -5 5
We'll make it out of this mess  
  5  5  -5  6  6  6 4   6    6  -5

I got tired of waiting  
-3  -4 5  -3  6   6   6 6   6 -6  6  -5 
Wondering if you were ever coming around
 6  6    -5  5  -4  -4 5
My faith in you is fading  
 5  -5  6   6  6   6   7   -6   6  -5
When I met you on the outskirts of town 
 6  6  -5  5 5 -6  6   -5 
And I said Rome-o save me 
 -5   -5   -5  5   6 5 -5 
I've been feeling so alone  
5  -5   6  -5   5   5  -5   5  6  5   -5
I keep waiting for you but you never come 
 5   5  -5 5   6 
Is this in my head, 
-5  5     5   -5  5  6 5 -5 5
I don't know what to think  
5   5 5  -5  5   6  5
He knelt to the ground 
6    6      6  4  6    -5  5
And pulled out a ring and said

(Change to an E harp)
5  5  -6  6 5 -5
Marry me  Juliet 
 5     -5 -5  -5  5  6  5 -5 
You'll never have to be alone  
5   5    5  -5  7      -6 5  6  6  -5
I love you and that's all I really know  
5   5    -5  5   6 
I talked to your dad 
-5  5    5  5  6 5   -5 5
Go pick out a white dress  
 5   5 -5    6  6  6 4  6    6  -5 
It's a love story baby just say yes
