Elvis Presley, I Just Can't Help Believin' (1971)
Key: :[D] (w: Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil)
INTRO: [D ^sus4] :
[x4]
VERSE 1:
I
[D] just can't help believin'
when she
[Dmaj7] smiles up soft and gentle
With a
[Em] trace of misty morning
and a
[A] promise of tomorrow
in her
[D ^sus4] eyes
[D ^sus4]
PRE-CHORUS 1:
Well I
[D] just can't help believin'
when she's
[Dmaj7] lying close beside me
And my
[D7] heart beats
with the rhythm of her
[G] sighs
[Gm]
CHORUS:
[D] This time the
[G] girl is gonna
[D] stay
[G]
[D] This time the
[Bm7] girl is gonna
[A] stay
[A open]
For more that just a
[D ^sus4] day
[D ^sus4]
VERSE 2:
[D] Oh I just can't help believin'
when she
[Dmaj7] slips her hand in my hand
And it
[Em] feels so small and helpless
as my
[A] fingers fold around it
like a
[D ^sus4] glove
[D ^sus4]
PRE-CHORUS 2:
[D] I just can't help believing
when she's
[Dmaj7] whispering her magic
And her
[D7] tears are shining honey
sweet with
[G] love
[Gm]
