Just use font & margins as shown and cut the file right above the title. A4, vertical orientation margins = 18 mm left & right, 15 mm up & down Courier New, 10 pts Don\'t Believe A Word -- Gary Moore transcription by Stefano Serafin 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. 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.

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. (Next 2 pages) That\'s it; any comments, improvements... barleycorn@infinito.it 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. Bass guitar ^^^^^^^^^^^ Am intro + . . . + . . . + . . . + . . . + . . . + . . . + . . . + . . .
