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.
(no3) = xxx031 = x00232 = xx0232
() = xxx010 = x32010 = xx0212
= 320033 = 133211 = 320001
h = hammer-on note

[Verse 1]
I thought love
was only true
in fairy tale
s,
Meant for some
one else, but
not for me,
Oh, love was o
ut to get me,
(Du - du, du -
du, du - doo!
)
That's the way
it seemed,
(Du - du, du -
du, du - doo!
)
Disappointment
haunted all m
y dreams!
[Chorus]
Oh, then I saw
her face,
now I'm a b
e - liever,
(I'm a be - liever!)
Not a trace---
- ...of doubt
in my mind,
(Doubt in my mind!)
I'm in love---
---, I'm a
be - liever, I
couldn't leav
e her...
(Ummm, oh----------, yeah----------!)
...if I tried!

[Verse 2]
I thought love
was, more or
less, a giving
thing,
Seems the more
I gave, the l
ess I got,
What's the use
in trying? (
Du - du, du -
du, du - doo!)
All you get is
pain! (Du -
du, du - du, d
u - doo!)
When I needed
sunshine I got
rain!
[Chorus]
Oh, then I saw
her face,
now I'm a b
e - liever,
(I'm a be - liever!)
Not a trace---
- ...of doubt
in my mind,
(Doubt in my mind!)
I'm in love---
---, I'm a
be - liever, I
couldn't leav
e her...
(Ummm, oh----------, yeah----------!)
...if I tried!
