We Don't Believe You - Will Varley
Capo: 3rd
The way Will plays this is more based on the main A chord shape but then the lowest note moving between
A, F#, B and E.
If you watch the official video you will see what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9ixUlfFVmY
A F# B F#
A F# E F#
Verse 1
A F#
Well I don't know what I'm scared of but I know that I am scared,
B F#
All the headlines feel like nightmares when I'm lying in my bed
A F#
If the virus doesn't kill us someone might chop off our heads,
E F#
But no one chops down yew trees on Parliament square
Verse 2
A F#
And they'll lie all day in Westminster and they'll lie all day in court,
B F#
And they'll lie about it later on the evening news report
A F#
Till there's a hundred thousand bodies lying on the desert floor,
E F#
And they'll point their guns at Russia and start another war
Verse 3
A F#
And in the media offices all the paintbrushes are there,
B F#
To fill the lines with black and white and fill our minds with fear
A F#
And pump us full of fashion and a dull sense of despair
B F#
Till we're well behaved consumers with no questions and no cares
Chorus
Am
But we don't believe you,
F#
We don't believe you,
E
We don't believe you anymore
Am
We don't believe you,
F#
We don't believe you,
E
We don't believe you anymore
Verse 4
A F#
And they'll pass the buck and cover it up and distort every hand,
B F#
Till the picture that they're painting is too hard to understand
A F#
And the canvas stretches over every border of every land
E F#
Cross the trade routes and religions and those bodies in the sand
Verse 5
A F#
And if we're after Britain First then we should probably be last
B F#
And before UK independence we should give back what isn't ours
A F#
Like the shirts and ties we're wearing made by slaves from afar,
E F#
But those shirts and ties can't hide the emblems tattooed on their hearts
Verse 6
A F#
And we should give back all the oceans and the islands and the sky
B F#
Because they don't don't belong to any man and no man has the right,
A F#
To tell another human being that his access is denied
E F#
To any corner of this planet or any moment of their lives
Chorus
Am
And we don't believe you,
F#
We don't believe you,
E
We don't believe you anymore
Am
We don't believe you,
F#
We don't believe you,
E
We don't believe you anymore
Verse 7
A F#
And the music on the adverts plays like prisoners of war
B F#
That have been forced to sell the weapons that they used to abhor
A F#
And if you try to ask questions then they'll back you into corners
E F#
And say, "You can't ask questions if you haven't got the answers!"
Verse 8
A F#
Well imaginary money grows on electronic trees,
B F#
And trickles through the masses and fuels the disease,
A F#
Cos the only epidemic with no sign of a vaccine
E F#
Are the global corporations and their foreign policies
Chorus
Am
Well we don't believe you,
F#
We don't believe you,
E
We don't believe you anymore
Am
We don't believe you,
F#
We don't believe you,
E
We don't believe you anymore
