Colin Hay - Beautiful World
Tabbed by Wayne Dipper ([email protected]).
Credit to BigBaws for the start.. he was mainly just missing the transition chords.
[Intro]
- G Dsus D G
(by the way.. every transition is the "Dsus D" combo before the next chord)
[Verse 1]
G D G Dsus D
My my my its a beautiful world
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
I like swimming in the sea
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
I like swimming in the sea
[Verse 2]
G D G Dsus D
My my my its a beautiful world
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
I like drinking Irish tea
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
With a little bit of Lapsan su Chang
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
I like making my own tea
[Verse 3]
G D G Dsus D
My my my its a beautiful world
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
I like driving in my car
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
I roll the top down sometimes I travel quite far
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
Drive to the ocean stare up at the stars
Cadd9 D G
I like driving in my car
[Chorus/bridge]
Em7 Cadd9 D G
All around is anger, automatic guns
Em7 Cadd9 D G
Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones
Em7 Cadd9 D G
Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold
Em7 G
Said he'd been swamped by calls this week
Cadd9 D Dsus D
And he could not shake his coooooooooooold
[Verse 4]
G D G Dsus D
Still this emptiness persists
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
Now leave the party early at least with no regrets
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
Yeah this is as good as it gets
[Verse 5]
G D G Dsus D
My my my its a beautiful world
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
I like sleeping with Marie
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
She is one sexy girl - full of mystery
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
She says she doesn't love me but likes my company
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
For now that's good enough for me
[Verse 6]
G D G Dsus D
My my my its a beautiful world
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
I like swimming in the sea
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
Cadd9 D Em7 Dsus D
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
Cadd9 D G Dsus D
I like swimming in the sea
