U2 – Beautiful Day  (Album: All That You Can’t Leave Behind (2000))

[Intro]:  [ A    | Bm    | D    | G   || G    | D    | A    | A   ]      (repeat)

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 mo_ving 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__

C :   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 imagina_tion_

You love this town                 Even if that  doesn’t ring true_

You’ve been all____ over     And it’s been_ all_ over you__

[Chorus2]

Bridge:    Touch__ me_         Take me to that other place

                Teach__ me_         I know I’m not a hopeless case

Em                                                   D

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

[n.c.]

 (ddddddaaayyyyy) (ddddaaaaayyyy)  aaaa aaaaah     take__ me___ out__

[Chorus3]

Bridge:    Touch__ me_       Take me to that other place

                Reach_ me_         I know I’m not a hopeless case

[Outro]     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___

[Chorus4]
