Beautiful Day - U2

[Intro: A Bm D G D A 2X]

A Bm D G
The heart is a bloom
D A
Shoots up through the stony ground
A Bm D G
But 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 any where

A Bm D G
You thought you'd 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:
A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
D A
The sky falls and you feel like
D Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
D A
Don't let it get away

A Bm D G
You're on the road
D A
But you've got no destination
A Bm D G
You're in the mud
D A
In the maze of her imagination

A Bm D G
You love this town
D A
Even if it doesn't ring true
A Bm D G
You've been all over
D A
And it's been all over you

Chorus:
A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
D A
Don't let it get away
A Bm D G
It's a beautiful day
D A
Hoo hoo hoooooo
F#m G D A
Touch me, take me to the other place
F#m G G A
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case
A Bm D G D A
(no words)

Bridge:
Em
See the world in green and blue
D
See China 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, and
Em G
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
D
After the flood all the colours came out

[Pause with keyboards backing]

Chorus:
A Bm D G
It was a beautiful day
D A
Don't let it get away
A Bm D G
Beautiful day
D A
(no words )
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

Closing:
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
A Bm D G D A
Was a beautiful day
A Bm D G D A
