LOVE STORY - Taylor Swift

Tabbed by: Caleb Wishart

Tuning: Standard
-------------------------------------Notes---------------------------------------
Most of this tab came from Alex <3 Declan. I changed part of it to match the way I
it from Fox-x-x's video. Both ways sound good, I
think the way I learned it is closer to the way it is played on the record. I also
the a tab for the solo in this. I couldn't find
it any where so I tabbed it out my self. I know it's far from perfect but it isn't even
by guitar on the record so I think it's good
enough. I also corrected Alex <3 Declan's chord chart. His chart is in the key of C and
tab is in D. I changed it so they are both in
D.

And say hello...
-------------------------Note-----------------------------
The pattern I use here is a different. Let the x's represent what ever the notes in the
are. For the D chord, you won't use the 5th
and 6th stings so you would play the muted ones on the 4th string. This is just a
guide. I don't play this part exactly.

That you were Romeo you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said
----------------------Note---------------------------------
For the chorus I use power chords and down strokes.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You be the prince I'll be the princess
G A (no chord)
Its a love story baby just say yes

So close your eyes...
Cause you were Romeo I was a scarlet letter
and my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
and I was begging you please don't go and I said
Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You be the prince I'll be the princess
Its a love story baby just say yes
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but its real,
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
Its a love story baby just say yes

--------------------------------Note------------------------------
The "I got tired of" is on the 3 + 4 + of the last bar of the solo. The "waiting" starts
Bm.
------------------------------------------------------------------
I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
Then I met you on the outskirts of town and I said
-------------------------------Note--------------------------------
My favorite part of the song here. Be sure to really build this. I use power chords and
really mute them starting off then let the mute
out and get stronger until I'm playing full force at the key change
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He nelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said
----------------------------Note----------------------------------
Key Change: Chords here are a lot of fun to play. Basically power chords on the A string
you let all the other strings ring.
E= 079900
B= 024400
C#m= 046600
A= 002200
------------------------------------------------------------------
Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad go pick out a white dress
Its a love story baby just say yes
Oh, oh, yes
We were both young when I first saw you

Thanks to all the people who tabbed this before me, this is really a combination of all
stuff I found that worked for me and my small
contribution of the solo. Also, for more information on how to play this with just a
check out the karaoke track, you can find it
on youtube.
