Listen to the song for the strumming pattern
C Am F G
[Verse 1]
C Am
For my seventh birthday
F
I was given a CD player
G C
And I played Paul Kelly again and again and again
Am
My dad listened to Coldplay
F
But I'd always ask him
G C
To play Kat Stevens again and again and again
[Chorus]
Am
Some people believe in a God above
F
Who says hello and he sends his love
G C
And brings to us, peace on earth, but
Am
I don't need no winged friends
F
Just my guitar and some paper and pens
G
That's right my friends
C
I believe in music
Am F G C
[Verse 2]
Am
I remember on Christmas Eve
F
My uncle brought his guitar and he
G C
Showed me how to play David Bowie's Space Oddity
Am
I played until my fingers bled
F
My mum sent me off to bed
G C
The next day Santa brought me my own guitar
[Chorus]
Am
Some people believe in a God above
F
Who says hello and he sends his love
G C
And brings to us, peace on earth, but
Am
I don't need no winged friends
F
Just my guitar and some paper and pens
G
That's right my friends
C
I believe in music
Am F G C
[Verse 3]
Am
My grandpa was very sick
F
I played his favourite song for him
G C
Amazing Grace and a piano in the back of a hospital
Am
Simple chords and a melody
F
Made him grin from cheek to cheek
G C
The next day I cried as I said my goodbyes
[Chorus]
Am
Some people believe in a God above
F
Who says hello and he sends his love
G C
And brings to us, peace on earth, but
Am
I don't need no winged friends
F
Just my guitar and some paper and pens
G
That's right my friends
C
I believe in music
