Beach Boys - You Still Believe In Me guitar tab

"You Still Believe In Me"

(Brian Wilson / Tony Asher)

[Notes from AWR: You're more or less on your own playing this on guitar, at

least if you want to cover the bass part as well. The right-hand keyboard

voicings I use are:

B: D# F# B Bsus4: E F# B F#7: E F# A#

... which on guitar could be played as:

111 111 111

xx312x xx412x xx411x

... assuming some other instrument handled the B-C#-F# bass part.]

Verse 1:

B Bsus4/C# F#7 B Bsus4/C# F#7 B Bsus4/C# F#7

I know perfectly well i'm not where I should be

B Bsus4/C# F#7 B Bsus4/C# F#7 B Bsus4/C# F#7

I've been very aware you've been patient with me

E B B7/A E B7 B7/A G#

Everytime we break up you bring back your love to me

C#m7

And after all I've done to you how can it be

G#m7/C# C#m7/G# B/F# C#m7-5/G

You still believe in me

Verse 2:

I try hard to be more what you want me to be

But I can't help how I act when you're not here with me

I try hard to be strong but sometimes I fail myself

And after all I've promised you so faithfully

You still believe in me
