Tightrope by Stevie Ray Vaughan Song
Tightrope
Key: B major Solo: B minor pentatonic with some major scale riffs
With swing: E - D - B7 / A - G - E (x2)
B9
Caught up in a whirlwind, can't catch my breath.
Knee deep in hot water, broke out in cold sweat.
Can't catch a turtle, in this rat race.
G#m7 E9 E-D-B7 / A-G-E (x2)
Feels like I'm losing, at a breakneck pace.
Afraid of my own shadow, in the face of grace.
Heart full of darkness, spotlight on my face.
There was love all around me, but I was looking for revenge.
Thank God it never found me, would have been the end.
E9 B9
Walkin' the tight rope, steppin on my friends
E9 B9
Walkin' the tight rope, was a shame and a sin.
E9 B9
Walkin' the tight rope, between wrong and right.
A E9
Walkin' the tight rope, both day and night. (Solo)
Lookin' back in front of me, in the mirror's grin.
Through eyes of love I see, I'm really lookin at a friend
We've had all our problems, that's the way life is.
My heart goes out to others, who are there to make amends.
(Walkin' the tightrope) Trying to make it right
Every day and every night
Bring it all around.
From the lost to found.
Streched around the world.
Save the boys and girls.
Let's make it right.
Do it, do it tonight.
Walkin the tightrope.
(Solo)

Caught up in a whirlwind can't catch my breath
Knee deep in hot water broke out in a cold sweat
Can't catch a turtle in this rat race
Feels like I'm losin' time at a breakneck pace
Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace
Heart full of darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge
Thank God it never found me would have been the end
walkin' the tightrope steppin' on my friends
Walkin' the tightrope (it) was a shame and a sin
Walkin' the tightrope between wrong and right
Walkin' the tightrope both day and night
Lookin' back in front of me in the mirror's a grin
Through eyes of love I see I'm really lookin' at a friend
We've all had our problems that's the way life is
My heart goes out to others who are there to make amends
We've been walkin' the tightrope tryin' to make it right
Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night
Walkin' the tightrope bring it all around
Walkin' the tightrope from the lost to found
Walkin' the tightrope stretched around the world
Walkin' the tightrope save the boys and girls
Walkin' the tightrope let's make it right
Walkin' the tightrope do it do it tonight
Walkin' the tightrope

Can't catch a turtle in this rat race

Afraid of my own shadow in the face of grace
Heart full of darkness spotlight on my face
There was love all around me but I was lookin' for revenge
Thank God it never found me would have been the end

Walkin' the tightrope every day and every night

Walkin' the tightrope stretched around the world

Are A and G parts of the verse?? It seems to me the chords to the
verses were B9 (As above) G#m E9 and the intro stuff following that. I've
written this against the lyrics I got from nevada.----UJDB9
Caught up in a world wind cant catch my breath, knee deep in hot water
broke out in cold sweat, cant catch the turtle in this rat race feels like
G#m7 E9 E-D-B7 A-G-E
I'm losing time at breakneck pace.The chorus is quite correct...(As Chuck Dolese wrote below..) except the A and
G below should (IMHO) be replaced by A and E9(?)......UJD.
