Romeo Had Juliette Cifras

[Intro]
A  E  D  D
A  E  D  D
 
[Verse 1]
A
Caught between the twisted stars
E
The plotted lines the faulty map
D
That brought Columbus to New York
A
Betwixt between the East and West
E
He calls on her wearing a leather vest
D
The earth squeals and shudders to a halt
A
A diamond crucifix in his ear
E
Is used to help ward off the fear
D
That he has left his soul in someone's rented car
A
Inside his pants he hides a mop
E
To clean the mess that he has dropped
D
Into the life of lithesome Juliette Bell
 
 
[Chorus]
       A                   E
And romeo wanted Juliette
    D
And Juliette wanted Romeo
       A                   E
And romeo wanted Juliette
    D
And Juliette wanted Romeo
 
 
[Verse 2]
A
Romeo Rodriguez squares
E
His shoulders and curses Jesus
D
Runs a comb through his black pony-tail
A
He's thinking of his lonely room
E
The sink that by his bed gives off a stink
D
Then smells her perfume in his eyes
        A                     E    D
And her voice was like a bell
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
Outside the street were steaming the crack
E
Dealers were dreaming
          D
Of an Uzi someone had just scored
A
I betcha I could hit that light
        E
With my one good arm behind my back
     D
Says little Joey Diaz
A
Brother give me another toke
      E
Those downtown hoods are no damn good
       D
Those Italians need a lesson to be taught
A
This cop who died in Harlem
E
You think they'd get the warnin
      D
I was dancing when his brains run out on the street
 
 
[Chorus]
       A                   E
And romeo wanted Juliette
    D
And Juliette wanted Romeo
       A                   E
And romeo wanted Juliette
    D
And Juliette wanted Romeo
 
 
[Verse 4]
     A
I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag
     E
With Latin written on it that says
      D
"it's hard to give a shit these days"
A
Manhattan's sinking like a rock
  E                           D
Into the filthy Hudson what a shock
D
They wrote a book about it, They said it was like ancient Rome
A                      E
The perfume burned his eyes
D
Holding tightly to her thighs
              A                      E
And something flickered for a minute
            D
And then it vanished and was gone
 
 
[Outro]
