Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6Song: 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 Please select a star rating for this tab, many thanks ===================================================================== [Intro] G7(no3)C G e |------1-1--0-0--|-------------------------|---------------------| B |------3-3--1-1--|-------------------------|---------------------| G |--0---0-0--0-0--|-------------------------|---------------------| D |----------------|-------3-------3------3--|-------3-------3-----| A |----------------|--3-h5----3-h5----3-h5---|--3-h5----3-h5----3--| E |----------------|-------------------------|---------------------| /__/__/ /__/__/ /__/__/ /__/__/ /__/__/ / [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!)
