            Song: I'm a believer
Artist: The Monkees
Composer: Neil Diamond
Tabbed by: DJ   13th Aug 2014

Play the (G) riff triplets by barring the 4th and 5th strings with
the index finger, and adding the hammer-ons with the little finger.
In the choruses, instead of the straight G7, you could substitute it
with a G7(no3)= 3x0031, to simulate the keyboard riff.

 G7(no3) = xxx031    D/A = x00232    D  = xx0232
(C)      = xxx010    C   = x32010    D7 = xx0212
 G       = 320033    F   = 133211    G7 = 320001

h = hammer-on note

[Verse 1]
G                  D/A          G
I thought love was only true in fairy tales,
G                 D/A               G
Meant for someone else, but not for me,
    C               G                               C
Oh, love was out to get me, (Du - du, du - du, du - doo!)
                  G                                 C
That's the way it seemed,   (Du - du, du - du, du - doo!)
               G       F      D       D7   D
Disappointment haunted all my dreams!

[Chorus]
                   G7   C   G      C          G7     C    G
Oh, then I saw her face,       now I'm a be - liever,
                                  (I'm a be - liever!)

C     G7    C    G     C           G7   C   G
Not a trace----  ...of doubt in my mind,
                      (Doubt in my mind!)

C      G           C             G                  F
I'm in love------,    I'm a be - liever, I couldn't leave her...
           (Ummm,  oh----------, yeah----------!)

        G
...if I tried!

[Verse 2]
G                   D/A             G
I thought love was, more or less, a giving thing,
G                D/A              G
Seems the more I gave, the less I got,
C                 G                                C
What's the use in trying?  (Du - du, du - du, du - doo!)
               G                              C
All you get is pain!  (Du - du, du - du, du - doo!)
              G        F     D    D7   D
When I needed sunshine I got rain!

[Chorus]
                   G7   C   G      C          G7    C    G
Oh, then I saw her face,       now I'm a be - liever,
                                  (I'm a be - liever!)

C     G7    C    G     C           G7   C   G
Not a trace----  ...of doubt in my mind,
                      (Doubt in my mind!)

C      G           C             G                  F
I'm in love------,    I'm a be - liever, I couldn't leave her...
