                         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       F G

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.


As to the lead guitar part... there's neither bar division nor rhythm notation.

I hope you understand, it seemed impossible to me... anyhow I wrote indicative

chord names above the tab and tried to divide the solo in "phrases". Maybe

this is not what Gary Moore actually plays, but I think it's a very good

approximation.

Here it is:

G-|--------------------------------|--14------------|--12--------14\------------|

D-|--------------------------------|----------------|---------------------------|

A-|--------------------------------|----------------|---------------------------|

E-|--------------------------------|----------------|---------------------------|




Now and then there's a second guitar playing chords on the high positions,

e.g. (from low E to high E):

Dm: x-x-12-10-10-10, or Em7: x-x-9-9-8-10, or Am: x-x-x-14-13-12.



In the final (shuffle) part, just play chords and notes around the 5th and 7th

fret with a little bit of improvisation.













As to the bass part... there are some variations to the progression here and

there, so I tabbed the song in full though it basically consists of verse and

chorus repeated over & over. You will find the song is quite syncopated, and

maybe not all the notes are in the right place. It's not 100% correct but it's

the best I could do.

Check out my Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey in the jar" transcription! Don't know where

you may find it... I posted it a few weeks ago at Freshtabs but I ain't seen it

yet on any tabs site.
