Romeo

 

     Gm

    Rum-pah, rum-pah, rum-pah, rum-pah.

 

   Gm

1. I studied Shakespeare when I was at school, thought Romeo was a hit,

     D                                                                          D7

    felt if I met him I’d act like a fool, I’d be a poor Juliet.

     Gm

    Now that I know you I’m not really sure, for you’re as charming as he,

     D                                  D7                  Cm      D        Gm

    saying the same things to all the girls, or is it just to me ?

 

  G    C              Am        D            Em

Romeo, why am I so in love with you?

 Bm Am         D              D7            G

Romeo, is it you or the things you do?

                  C                     Am               D       Em

I’ve been yours from the moment you said hello,

Cm         G               Cm           D   Gm

are you right, or just only my Romeo.

 

   Gm

2. I studied Shakespeare when I was at school, thought Romeo was a joy,

    D                                                                                   D7

    I loved the true way he loved Juliet, just my ideal of a boy.

     Gm

    You know I like you as my Romeo, that’s how I want you to be,

      D                           D7                     Cm               D       Gm

    but if you’re out on some other day, can you be true to me?
