I've decided to create a tab on Tightrope because the others I feel are slightly wrong.
If there is anything
wrong with this tab - please let me know. I have this tabbed as acoustic because I used
the acoustic version
of the song to work and I play acoustic guitar - I'm sure it'll work on electric though.
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 4th fret - people tend to say "transpose up 4" but I have no idea how to do that
but there's a guitar app
called GuitarTuna (highly recommend it) if you have that then select +2 and then just
put a capo on the 2nd fret.
Chords:
G:  355433
C:  x35553
D:  x57775
Em: x79987
G, C, D, C x2
G                 C

G                                        C
Walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope.
G                                            C
You walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope.
G       D       Em      C    G             D        Em    C

        G       D       Em      C    G             D        Em    C

I said careful now, what you do to my head.
G                                          C
Make your mind up, make your little mind up.
D                                       C
To each his own, each his or her o-o-own.
