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 B9 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.

De Souza Tightrope by Stevie Ray Vaughan 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) ---fade---
