Don\'t Believe A Word -- Gary Moore
Lyrics & Chords
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Am (4 bars)
Am
Don\'t believe me if I tell you
Dm C G
Not a word of this is true
Am G F
Don\'t believe me if I tell you
Dm C G
Especially if I tell you that I\'m in love with you
Am
Don\'t believe me if I tell you
Dm C G
That I wrote this song for you
Am G F
There just might be some other silly pretty girl
Dm C G
I\'m singing it to
Em
Don\'t believe a word
Dm
For words are only spoken
And our heart is like a promise
Am
Made to be broken
| Am | Am | Dm C | G | Am G | F | Dm C | G | [solo]
| Am | Am | Dm C | G | Am G | F | Dm C | G |
Em
Don\'t believe a word
Dm
Words can tell lies
And lies are no comfort
Am
When there\'s tears in your eyes
Am
Don\'t believe me if I tell you
Dm C G
Not a word of this is true
Am G
Don\'t believe me if I tell you
F Dm C G
Especially if I tell you that I\'m in love with you
Am G F
Don\'t believe a word
Am G F
No, don\'t believe a word, don\'t believe me
Am G F
Don\'t believe me
Am G/B Am shuffle Am ad libitum
Oh, not a single word, ooh.
Note: Both in the lead guitar and in the bass part, chords only indicate the
overall harmony. There\'s no rhythm guitar strumming the chords.
