The Fratellis – Baby Don’t You Lie To Me guitar chords

I fell in love with Baby Don’t You Lie To Me, the new song from The Fratellis, but there wasn’t any guitar tab on the internet. So I found out the guitar chords for it. You can play it on a Telecaster plugged into a vintage amp with some distorsion like an Ibanez TS9 and you can get close to the record sound.

Enjoy!

 

 

 

[Intro]
| D# C | D# C | D# C | Bb G | x2

 [Verse 1]
  C                                                    Am
 Well little girl you can roll your eyes at the very sight of me,
                  F
 Do everything in spite of me,
                    G          (D#)
 But baby don’t you lie to me,
                  C
 I’ll take your mood swings,
                           Am
 I’ll dig a hole in your dishonesty,
                           F
 I will kneel down in your company,
                    G
 But baby don’t you lie to me.
 

[Pre-chorus 1]
                 | D# C |
 I’ll be your red-cheeked lover
         | D# C |
 And your man of regret
                    | D# C |            | Bb G |
 There’ll be no desert too dry and no ocean too wet,
             | D# C |
 I’ll be your punchbag substitute,
     | D# C |
 I’ll sharpen your claws,
         | D# C |                 | Bb G |        G
 When you come tumbling down you’re still in my thoughts.
 [Chorus]
                G#                        D#
 Well there’s just one thing baby I could never abide,
             Bb                         | D# Bb |
 No matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try,
         G#                       D#
 You can tell me that I’ll never be free,
                  Bb           (B)
 But baby don’t you lie to me.
 [Verse 2]
 Well little sister I can handle the thought of you despising me,
 Dancin’ on my grave and baptising me,
 As long as baby you don’t lie to me.
 I’ll bend until you have broken my will,
 I’ll be no enemy,
 You’ll never hear so much as a complaint from me,
 As long as baby you don’t lie to me.
 [Pre-chorus 2]
 Well you can take my house,
 Don’t take my pride,
 Take all my valentines cards and tear them open wide,
 Chase my friends, ruin my name,
 I won’t ever fight back I’ll be easy to blame.
 [Chorus 2]
 Well there’s just one thing baby I will always despise,
 Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes,
 I got only one reasonable plea,
 Baby don’t you lie to me.
 Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes,
 I’ll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows,
 I’ll be anything you need me to be,
 Baby don’t you lie to me.
 [Bridge]
 B                           F#
 Every time your lips move baby,
 B                   | F# C# |
 Someone somewhere’s bound to cry,
 B                               F#                 G#
 I don’t even think you’re quite aware of how or why.
 B                           F#
 Life for you could be so easy,
 B                           F#
 If you’d only shut your mouth,
 B                           F#
 Every time you feel those words come
 G#                           Bb
 Runnin’ out (x12)
 Ahhhhh
 [Chorus 3]
 There’s just one thing baby I could never abide,
 No matter how much you beg no matter how hard you try,
 You can tell me that I’ll never be free,
 Baby don’t you lie to me.
 Drag my name and reputation over the cold hard stones,
 Break my heart up into pieces honey,
 Shatter my bones,
 You can kill me with your repartee,
 Baby don’t you lie to me.
 Well there’s just one thing baby I will always despise,
 Not the crack of your whip or the hatred in your eyes,
 I got only one reasonable plea,
 Baby don’t you lie to me.
 Burn my house, throw me out, pull me down, sell my clothes,
 Oh Yeah!
 I’ll dig you out of a hole when your ignorance shows,
 I’ll be anything you need me to be,
 Bb
 Baby don’t you lie to me.
