Song: I'm A Believer
By:    The Monkees

[intro:]  G G / C  C /  G  / {keyboard}     {guitar riff}

[verse: 1]
G                   D    F       G
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
                        D    F     G
Meant for someone else but not for me
C               G
Love was out to get me    (duuuu dun   duuuu dun)
C                               G
     That's the way it seemed    (duuuu dun   duuu dun)
C                   G              D         D  {let ring}
     Disappointment haunted all my dreams

[chorus:]
                G     C     G
Then I saw her face
       C    G         C     G
Now I'm a believer!
C     G      C    G
Not a trace
        C      G      C     G
Of doubt in my mind.
C      G
I'm in love  (hmmmmmm  ooohhhhh yeeeaaahhhhh)
C            G
     I'm a believer
           F                 D  {guitar riff}
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

[verse: 2]
G                  D       F      G
I thought love was more or less a givin' thing
                      D    F           G
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
C                 G
What's the use in tryin'?   (duuuu dun   duuuu dun)
C                           G
     All you get is pain.   (duuuu dun   duuuu dun)
C                  G               D       D  {let ring}
     When I needed sunshine, I got rain.
