The Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love

Originally in C, I play in A.

I do the opening chorus super slow, then break into a

syncopated triplet beat.

The first vocal note is the root (C in C),

so the first ‘love’ is the 5 above that (G in C), i.e.

the third of the opening minor chord.

I’ll A7buy you a diamond ring my friend if it makes you feel all right

I’ll D7get you anything my friend if it A7makes you feel all right

‘Cause E7I don’t care too D7much for money, for money can’t buy me loveA7

I’ll A7give you all I’ve got to give if it makes you love me too

I D7may not have a lot to give but what I’ve A7got I’ll give to you

‘Cause E7I don’t care too D7much for money, for money can’t buy me loveA7

A7Say you don’t need no diamond rings and I’ll be satisfied

D7Tell me that you want the kind of things that A7money just can’t buy

‘Cause E7I don’t care too D7much for money, for money can’t buy me loveA7

Solo, 1-4-5 in C, skip if unaccompanied

A7Say you don’t need no diamond rings and I’ll be satisfied

D7Tell me that you want the kind of things that A7money just can’t buy

‘Cause E7I don’t care too D7much for money, for money can’t buy me loveA7
