Song: Beautiful Day
By: U2
[intro:] 2 X | A Bm D | G | G D A | A | [keys}
{beats} b b b bb b b b
[verse:1]
A Bm D G
The heart is a bloom,
G D A
shoots up thru the stony ground
A Bm D G
But there's no room,
G D A
no space to rent in this town
A Bm D G
You're out of luck
G D A
and the reason that you had to care,
A Bm D G
the traffic is stuck
G D A
and you're not moving anywhere.
A Bm D G
You thought you'd found a friend
G D A
to take you out of this place
A Bm D G
Someone you could lend a hand
G D A
in return for grace
{chorus:]
A {band kicks in} Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
G D A
The sky falls and you feel like
A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
G D A
Don't let it get away
[verse:2]
A Bm D G
You're on the road
G D A
But you've got no destination
A Bm D G
You're in the mud,
G D A
In the maze of her imagination
A Bm D G
You love this town
G D A
Even if it doesn't ring true
A Bm D G
You've been all over
G D A
And it's been all over you
{chorus:]
A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
G D A
Don't let it get away
A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
G D A A
Ooooohhh ooo
[Bridge:1]
F#m G D A
Touch me, take me to the other place
F#m G D A
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
| A Bm D | G | G D A | A |
[bridge:2]
Em {let ring}
See the world in green and blue
D {strum}
See China right in front of you
Em G
See the canyons broken my cloud
D
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
Em G
See the bedouin fires at night
D
See the oils fields at first light
Em G
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
D D {let ring} 4 bars
After the flood all the colours came out
{chorus:]
A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
G D A
Don't let it get away
A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
G D A A
Oooohhhh
[Bridge:1]
F#m G D A
Touch me, take me to the other place
F#m G D A
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
[coda:]
A Bm D G
What you don't have you don't need it now
G D A
What you don't know you can feel it someone
A Bm D G
What you don't have you don't need it now
G D A
You don't need it now, you don't need it now
[chorus:]
A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
G D A
A Bm D G
G D A A {stop}
| A Bm D | G | G D A | A | {keys}
