Im A Believer by The Monkees - Guitar Chords
<< Back to The Monkees Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6
Song: I'm a believer
Artist: The Monkees
Composer: Neil Diamond
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.
G7(no3) = xxx031 D/A = x00232 D = xx0232
(C) = xxx010 C = x32010 D7 = xx0212
G = 320033 F = 133211 G7 = 320001
h = hammer-on note
