Biography:
Dire Straits were a British rock band from Newcastle, United Kingdom, formed in 1977 by Mark Knopfler (guitar and vocals), his brother David Knopfler (guitar), John Illsley (bass), and Pick Withers (drums), and subsequently managed by Ed Bicknell. The band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.
Dire Straits emerged during the post-punk era of the late '70s, and while their sound was minimalistic and stripped down, they owed little to punk.

[Verse 1]
C Am G
A lovestruck Romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
C G Am F
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
G F G C
Finds a street light, steps out of the shade
F G
Says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"
C G Am G
Juliet says, "hey it's Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack"
C G Am F
He's underneath the window, she's singing, "hey la my boyfriend’s back
G F G C
You shouldn't come around here, singing up to people like that
F G
Anyway, what you gonna do about it?"
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start
G C G Am F
And I bet and you exploded into my heart
G C F Am F
And I forget, I forget, the movie song
Dm F G Am G C
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[Interlude]
F C/G F G
[Verse 2]
C G Am G
Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
C G Am F
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
G F G C
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
F G
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?
C G Am G
When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold
C G Am F
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
G F G C
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
F G
Now you just say, "oh Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him"
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
G C G Am F
You said I love you like the stars above, I'll love you till I die
G C G F Am F
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Dm F G Am G C
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[Interlude]
F C/G F G
[Verse 3]
C Am G
I can't do the talks like they talk on the TV
C G Am F
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
G F G C
I can't do everything but I'll do anything for you
F G
I can't do anything 'cept be in love with you
C Am
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be
C Am F
All I do is keep the beat; the bad company
G F G C
And all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
F G
Juliet I'd do the stars with you any time
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Juliet, when we made love you used to cry
C G Am F
You said I love you like the stars above; I'll love you till I die
G C G F Am F
There's a place for us, you know the movie song
Dm F G Am G C
When you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet?
[Interlude]
F C/G F G
C F C F G
[Verse 4]
C Am G
And a love struck Romeo sing the streets a serenade
C Am F
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
G F G C
Find a convenient street light, steps out of the shade
F G
He says something like, "you and me babe, how about it?"
[Outro]
F G x13
(You and me babe, how about it?)
