The Indigo Girls are Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met on the playground in grammar school in Decatur, Georgia, USA, and have been playing together since high school.
Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single named "Crazy Game", with the B-side "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". That same year, the Indigo Girls released a six-track Extended play album named "Indigo Girls", and in 1987 released their first full-length album, Strange Fire, recorded at John Keane Studio in Athens, Georgia, and including "Crazy Game".
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

ROMEO AND JULIET (Mark Knopfler) -------------------------------- [This is the Indigo Girls' version, performed solo by Amy Ray.] [Actually in D; capo 2.] [The measures that say C* or Am* actually have some variation in them; the C measures have a C(9) and Cmaj9 at the end of the second measure, and the Am measures go Am Asus9 Am Asus Am Asus9 Am. This is all spelled out at the end of this file, so refer there for details.] ["stop" in brackets means strum the chord once at the beginning of the measure; the "stopped" chords last two measures. All other chords are one measure. (You could think of the word "stop" as taking the place of one chord name.)] [The G/B's in parentheses are short chords (anywhere from an eighth to a half measure) that usually come between C and Am. Even where I didn't _write_ G/B, she often plays x22010 or x20010 between C and Am.]
[C=332010 or x32010; Am=x02210; G=320003; F=x33211 or xx3211; F(9)=xx3213; G/B=x2000x.]

C [stop] (G/B) Am [stop] We both come up on different streets, and they were both the streets of shame C [stop] (G/B) AmAm You know they're both dirty, both mean, yes and even the dreams were the same GGGG Well I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real, so tell me honey FF(9)GG Now how can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
CCAmAm Now you can fall for chains of silver, and you can fall for chains of gold CCAmAm You know you, you fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold GGGG Well you promised me everything, and then you, and then you promised me thick and thin F [stop] And now you just turn away and say, Romeo? GG I think I used to have a scene with him
CGFF(9) Oh, Juliet, when we made love you used to cry CGFF(9) You said I love you like the stars above, gonna love you till I die CGAmAm There's a place for us, I know you know this song GGGF Now when you gonna realize that it was just that the time was wrong?
CCAmAm Julie, I'm so in love, so in love CCAmAm Yeah
(G/B) CC (G/B) Am [stop] But I can't do the talk, like they talk on my TV screen, and CC (G/B) AmAm I can't do a love song, not the way you sung them to me GGGG I can't do anything, but I would do anything for you, oh now FF(9)GG I can't do anything except be in love with you, yeah now
CCAmAm All I do is miss you and the way you used to be, you know CCAm [stop] And all I do is keep the beat, I keep bad, bad company GGGG And all I do is kiss you through the bars of this rhyme, well FF(9)GG Julie, I'd do the stars with you anytime
CGFF(9) Oh, Juliet, when we made love you used to cry; you said I CGFF(9) Love you like the stars above, I'm gonna love you till I die. There's a CGAmAm Place for us, I know you know the movie song GGG [hold] F One day we're gonna realize that it was just that the time was wrong
CCAmAm Julie, Julie CCAm* Am* Julie
C [stop] (G/B) Am [stop] Well this lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade C [stop] (G/B) Am [stop] He's laying everybody low, he's got a love song that he made G [stop] G [stop] He finds a convenient streetlight, and he'll, he'll step out of the shade n.C. And he'll say something like, you and me, babe, how about it?
TAB:
The measures that I wrote as "C* C* Am* Am*" go something like this:
CC(9)Cmaj9Am Asus9 AmAsusAm Asus9 Am | | | / / | / / E 0---0-0---0-0---|--0---0-0-0-0-0-|0---0-0-0-----0-|--0---0-----0---| B 1---1-1---1-1---|--1---1-1-1-1-1-|1---1-1-0h1---3-|--1---0--h1-1---| G 0---0-0---0-0---|--0---0-0-0-0-0-|2---2-2-2-----2-|--2---2-----2---| D 2---2-2---2-2---|--2---2-0-0-0-0-|2---2-2-2-----2-|--2---2-----2---| A 3---3-3---3-3---|--3---3-3-3-2-2-|0---0-0-0-----0-|--0---0-----0---| E 3---3-3---3-3---|--3---3-3-3-3-3-|----------------|----------------| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ d d u u d u u d u d u d d u d u u u d
It'll make sense once you try it. The middle and ring fingers change the C chord, and the index finger and pinky mess with the Am.
