Dont Believe A World

(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

(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) (F) (G) 
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. 
Here it is:

Now and then there‘s a second guitar playing chords on the high positions, 
e.g. (from low (E) to high E): 
(Dm): x-x-12-10-10-10, or (Em7): x-x-9-9-8-10, or (Am): x-x-x-14-13-12. 
 
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.

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.
