NO WORDS by Neil Diamond
from the album “Home Before Dark”.
Intro: C F Em Dm C F Em Dm C
C G
No words could say how I love you
F C
No words could be as true
C7 F
I’ve looked through books and read through dictionaries
C G C
But I found no words for you
G C G
No words, no words, no words
G F Em Dm
Oh no,
G F Em Dm
Oh no
C G
No words can define what I’m feeling
F C
When I feel close to you
C7 F
No words can bring that magic kind of healing
C G C
Just as much as your touch can do
G C G
No words, no words, no words
G F Em Dm
Oh no,
G F Em Dm
Oh no
C
No words
G C
Well I’ll admit there may be one or two
G C
That danced around in my head
G C
But words that talk about me and you
F# G F Em Dm
Are better felt than said……. There……. Are…….. no
C G
Words that can tell our story
F C
They just get in the way
C7 F
It’s all about the feelings that you’re feeling

C G C
Not about the words that you say
G C G
No words, no words, no words
G F Em Dm
Oh no,
G F Em Dm
Oh no
C
No words
G C
Well I’ll admit there may be one or two
G C
Been swimming ‘round in my head
G C
But what they say about me and you
F# G F Em Dm
Is better felt than said………..there………are…………no
C G
Words that can solve life’s mystery
F C
Or explain God’s eternal plan
C7 F
We only know enough to ask the questions
C G C
Not enough to understand
G C G
No words, no words, no words
G F Em Dm
Oh no,
G C G
No words, no words, no words
G F Em Dm
Oh no
G F Em Dm
Oh no
C G G G C
No words
Not 100% correct I fear but a good starter for ten. Picking the strings
selectively, rather than strumming, has the best effect as you an use your pinkie
on the third fret to get the little riffs he puts in to link the chord changes - I
can play it but it's too clever for me to write!! The words are correct to the
track now (not like the album sleeve). I hope you enjoy it :-) RV
