no guarantee) where Gary sings duet with Phil Lynott.
The slower version can also be found on "LiveLife". The chords are the same,
more info below...
*Intro 8 bars:
Guitar 1:
Guitar 2:
Guitar 1 plays 4 bars solo, then guitar 2 kicks in and they play three
bars
together. The last intro bar looks like this:
Guitar 1: Guitar 2:
Guitar tacet, drums by the one and only Brian Downey! (one bar or
something..)
*Verse 1:
Tacet Am
Don't believe me if I tell you
Not a word of this is true
Don't believe me if I tell you.. 'Specially if I tell you
I'm in love with you
The guitar playing in the verses are power/barre chords (Ex: Am G F
progression).
Where a chord is played for a "long" time, play this figure instead of
the chord:
Over Dm: Over Am: Over Em
to Dm
Both guitars play bass tones, then Git1 "parenthesised" notes, Git2 the
others.
*Verse 2:
Don't believe me if I tell you
That I wrote this song for you
That's just not for some other silly pretty girl (alt: "pretty silly",live
I'm singing to version)
*Bridge (or is this the chorus.. never mind):
Don't believe a word, the words are so easily spoken
And your heart is just like that promise.. made to be broken
*Solo
Same chord progression as the verses, play it twice.
My suggestion: A pentatonic, harmonic minor or "blues scale".
Scott Gorham (I guess its him) plays with wah-wah and Les Paul guitar.
*Bridge again
Don't believe a word, 'cause word's can tell (them) lies
But them lies ain't no comfort, when there's tears in your eyes.
*Verse 3:
Repeat first verse..
*Outro (slight, barely audible wah fills..)
Don't believe a word
No don't believe a word
Don't believe it, don't believe it
Not a single word
Hey don't!!
Intro riff 7 bars, 8th (last) bar:
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
The "slow" version(s):
Intro:
Am (Am7 sounds nice during the intro)
let ring
(The bass plays the figure on the E and A strings)
On the LiveLife, one guitar plays Am7 arpeggios (one string at a time),
and the figure is:
let ring
Solos sounds best in harmonic minor, to create a "mood".
The riffs are gone, of course, just play open chords..
Chords: Cut this out if you know them..
Am x02210 or Am barre 577555, Am7 x02013
Dm xx0231 or barre 8 10 10 8 8 8
Em 022000
G barre 355433 or open 320003 alt 320033
F barre 133211 or "open" skip the E,A strings
