 Here are some of my comments in order to improve tab that I found
 at nevada. I'd like to thank Chuck Dolese for contributing Tightrope-SRV
 to the net. Please take time to improve this if you know the song..
 My comments are labelled with "UJD" at the end...

    B9         E9     A     G
 
 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.----UJD

      G#m7     E9                  E-D-B7  A-G-E

 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.

 Song::
 
   INTRO 2x
 
 Verse 1:
                          B9
   Caught up in a world wind 
   Can't catch my breath, 
   Knee deep in hot water 
   Brake out in cold sweat
   Can't catch the turtle
   In this rat race 
                         Abm  E9
   Feels like I'm losing time 
   At breakneck pace.
 
   INTRO 2x
 
 Verse 2:
                        B9
   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
                            Abm  E9
   Thank God it never found me
   Would've been the end
 
   MIDRO 2x
 
 Chorus 1:
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Steppin on my friends
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Was a shame and a sin
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Between wrong and right
               A         E
   Walking the tightrope
                B
   Both day and night
 
   MINIRO 1x
 
 Solo 1:
   (I don't have time yet to type it in.)
   (rhythm uses standard blues progression in B)
   B9 E9 ...
 
 then solo ends ...
 
   INTRO 2x
 
 Verse 3:
                           B9
   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
   There's a whole lot of problems
   That's the way life is
                        Abm  E9
   My heart goes out to others
   Who are there to make amends
 
   MIDRO 2x
 
 Chorus 2:
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Try to make it right
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Every day and every night
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Bring it all around (?)
               A         E
   Walking the tightrope
                B
   From the lost to found
 
   MIDRO 2x
 
 Chorus 3:
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Stretchin round the world
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Save the boys and girls
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Let's make it right
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
                      B9
   Do it do it tonight
                      E9
   Walking the tightrope
   
 Solo 2:
 
   let it rip and fade out.
