Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
When picking the end riff of guitar intro one pick down on both strings for the first
for the third pick down then up to account for the smaller gap between the last two
notes (listen to the song for exact timing)
Verse 1
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
Thats the way it seemed.
Stop.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Chorus
For the chorus the strumming pattern is simply down, down-up, down (V V^V). so you play
first chord G on the first down strum, and hit the C on the final down strum, and
change chords on the upstroke.
During the chorus Guitar two should play the guitar 2 inro riff over each line of the chorus.
Then I saw her face,
now Im a believer
Not a trace
of doubt in my mind.
Im in love, ooh
Im a believer! I couldnt leave her if I tried.
Play this Riff exactly the same as the end of the beggining riff except repeat twice (as indicated).
Verse 2
I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
Whats the use in tryin?
All you get is pain.
Stop.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Chorus
Solo
The solo for this song is very simple even for a begginer and sounds great when played
on the second time round the end part is played;
Verse 3
Love was out to get me
Thats the way it seemed.
Stop.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Chorus
Yes I saw her face,
now Im a believer
Not a trace
of doubt in my mind.
Said Im a believer
I'm a believer
Said Im a believer (Im a believer)
Said Im a believer (Im a believer)
