Beautiful Day
Intro: A Bm D G D A
A Bm D G D A
A Bm D G D A
The heart is a bloom Shoots up through the stony ground
A Bm D G D A
There's no room No space to rent in this town
A Bm D G D A
You're out of luck And the reason that you had to care
A Bm D G D A
The traffic is stuck And you're not mo_ving anywhere
A Bm D G D A
You thought you'd found a friend To take you out of this place
A Bm D G D A
Someone you could lend a hand In return for grace
A5 B5 D5 G5 D5 A5
It's a beautiful day Sky falls, you feel like
A5 B5 D5 G5 D5 A5
It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away
A Bm D G D A
You're on the road But you've got no destination
A Bm D G D A
You're in the mud In the maze of her imagina_tion
A Bm D G D A
You love this town Even if that doesn't ring true
A Bm D G D A
You've been all over And it's been all over you
A5 B5 D5 G5 D5 A5
It's a beautiful day Don't let it get away
A5 B5 D5 G5 D5 A5
It's a beautiful day
F#m G D A
Touch me Take me to that other place
F#m G D A
Teach me I know I'm not a hopeless case
A Bm D G D A
Em D
See the world in green and blue See China right in front of you
Em G D
See the canyons broken by cloud See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
Em G D
See the Bedouin fires at night See the oil fields at first light and
Em G D
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth after the flood all the colors came out
A5 B5 D5 G5 D5 A5
It was a beautiful day Don't let it get away
A5 B5 D5 G5 D5 A5
Beautiful day
F#m G D A
Touch me Take me to that other place
F#m G D A
Reach me I know I'm not a hopeless case
A Bm D G
What you don't have you don't need it now
D A
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
A Bm D G
What you don't have you don't need it now
D A
Don't need it now
A5 B5 D5 G5 D5 A5
Was a beautiful day

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day (Oooh, ooh)
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me love
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
Day, Day
Day, Day
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have, you don't need it now
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

instead of the usual (wrong) tabs in 4/4
one could use 6/4, but for the simplicicity
and ease by playing (as much as by counting!)
I found out that the 3/4 pattern is the way
to go. Unfortunaly my software didn´t export
the 3/4 thing accurately, but count like it
is written on the top:
1 & 2 & 3 & 1 2 3

You can play also on the unfretted 5th
and 6th strings in the beginning, but
I prefer to fret the strings for easier
damping.
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
