I'm A Believer

The Monkees

G7 C G /D Lick
           G                              D                 G
            I thought love was only true in fairy tales
         G                                  D                       G
            Meant for someone else but not for me
               C                        G         C                            G
            A love was out to get me - that's the way it seemed
         C                           G            C         D          add4
            Disappointment haunted all my dreams

                                                        G7 C G                     G7      C  G
                              Then I saw her face  -  now I'm a believer
                                        G7   C G                        G7    C G
                              Not a trace  -  of doubt in my mind
                                        G (no chord) C                  G
                              I'm in love...   (mm, oh) I'm a believer
                                              F                    D Lick
                              I couldn't leave her if I tried

            I thought love was more or less a given thing
            It seems the more I gave the less I got
            What's the use in tryin' - all you get is pain
            When I needed sunshine I got rain

                              Then I saw her face - now I'm a believer
                              Not a trace of doubt in my mind
                              I'm in love... I'm a believer
                              I couldn't leave her if I tried
                                           *Interlude*    G D G   G D G

            A love was out to get me - that's the way it seemed
            Disappointment haunted all my dreams

                              Then I saw her face - now I'm a believer
                              Not a trace of doubt in my mind
                              I'm in love... I'm a believer
                              I couldn't leave her if I tried

                                                       G7 C G                     G7      C  G
                              Yes, I saw her face  -  now I'm a believer
                              Oh, not a trace of doubt in my mind
                              Said I'm a believer - yeah, yeah, yeah
                              Yeah, yeah, yeah (I'm a believer)

                              Said I'm a believer, yeah
                              Said I'm a believer, now...

The end of the "G7-C-G Lick" and the beginning of the "D Lick" are played at the same time. So you decide how you want to handle it. Don't forget that coming out of the interlude, you go into the second half of the verse.
