BEAUTIFUL DAY by U2
From the album "All That You Can't Leave Behind"
INTRO:
A Bm D G D D A
A Bm D G D D A
VERSE 1:
A Bm D G
The heart is a bloom
D A
Shoots up through the stony ground
A Bm D G
There's no room
D A
No space to rent in this town
A Bm D G
You're out of luck
D A
And the reason that you had to care
A Bm D G
The traffic is stuck
D A
And you're not moving anywhere
A Bmin D G
You thought you found a friend
D A
To take you out of this place
A Bm D G
Someone you could lend a hand
D A
In return for grace
CHORUS: (same chords)
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls you feel like
A beautiful day
Don't let it get away
VERSE 2:
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
The love is done
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
CHORUS
F#m G
Touch me
D A
Take me to that other place
F#m G
Teach me
D A
I know I'm not a hopeless case
BRIDGE:
Em
See the world in green and blue
D
See time move right in front of you
Em G
See the canyons broken by cloud
D
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
Em G
See the Bedouin fires at night
D
See the oil fields at first light
Em G
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
D A
After the flood all the colors came out
CHORUS
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
It's a beautiful day

INTRO:
E E/G# A E/G# B C#m A E
VERSE:
E E/G# A E/G#
I'm not afraid of anything in this world
B C#m A E
There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard
E E/G# A E/G#
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
B C#m A E
A song that I can sing in my own company
C#m A
I never thought you were a fool
F#m(2nd verse: F#7) A
But darling, look at you
C#m A C#m
You gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight
B
These tears are going nowhere, baby
CHORUS:

E E/G# A E/G# G#/C C#m
Don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment
A E
And you can't get out of it
VERSE 2:
I will not forsake, the colours that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I still listen through your ears, and through your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never get enough
Of what you don't really need now... my oh my
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
F#m
I was unconscious, half asleep
A E
The water is warm till you discover how deep...
F#m
I wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall
A D B
It's a long way down to nothing at all
CHORUS
E E/G# A E/G#
And if the night runs over
B C#m A E
And if the day won't last
E E/G# A E/G#
And if our way should falter
G#/C C#m A E(1st x only)
Along the stony pass
(repeat)
It's just a moment
E
This time will pass

Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees
That girl, that girl
She's mine
And I've know her since
Since she was a little girl
With Spanish eyes
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by
Oooh, my how you've grown
Well it's been
It's been a little while

Turn it on, turn it on
You turn me on..

To see what you see
When I look at the world
Verse 5
I'm in the way of you
I can't see through smoke
I think of you and your holy book
When the rest of us choke
Outro: Asus4 A repeat
Tell me tell me what do you see
Tell me tell me whats gone on with me

[That's all]
song : Grace
album: All that you can't leave behind
band : U2
Someone else has to write tab, It wouldn't be correct if I did, and anyway I don't have
the effects and stuf,I just can give give the chords. Listening to the bassline I think
F should be a F/C
the whole song is some kind of 12-bar blues scheme in C, repeated over and over, but it's 2 X slower.
Listening to the bassline I think the F should maybe be a F/C, but it sounds good with
I guess you all know the chords C, F and G so I don't have to write them out...
oh, and it's just standard tuning.
intro :(and rest of the song)
| C | C | C | C | C | C | C | C |
| F | F | F | F | C | C | C | C |
| G | G | F | F | C | C | C | C |
C
Grace... she takes the blame she covers the shame
removes the stain it could be her name
F
Grace It's a name for a girl
C
It's also a thought that changed the world
G
and when she walks on the street
F
you can hear the strings
C
grace finds goodness in everything
C
grace... she's got the walk not on a wrapper on chalk
she's got the time to talk
F
she travels outside of karma, karma
C
she travels outside of karma
G
when she goes to work
F
you can hear the strings
C etc...
grace finds beauty in everything
grace... she carries a world on her hips
no champagne flute for her lips
no twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition
what once was hers, what once was friction
what left a mark no longer stains
because grace makes beauty out of ugly things
grace finds beauty in everything
grace finds goodness in everything
