BEAUTIFUL DAY - Lee DeWyze This is American Idol Series 9 winner Lee DeWyze's cover of U2's 2001 hit Beautiful Day. This is a great song, by a great artist.

The heart is a ^Abloom,^Bm ^D ^G ^DShoots up through ^Athe stony ground, But there's no ^Aroom, ^Bm ^D ^G ^DNo space to rent ^Ain this town,

Riff 1: e|---------------0-------------------0-------| B|-----------0-------0-------------------0---| G|---6---7---------------6---7---6-----------| D|-------------------------------7-----------| A|-------------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------------|

You're out of ^Aluck, ^Bm ^D ^G ^DAnd the reason that you had to ^Acare, The traffic is ^Astuck,^Bm ^D ^G ^DAnd you're not movin' any^Awhere. You thought you'd found a ^Afriend^Bm, ^D ^G ^DTo take you out of this ^Aplace, Someone you ^Acould ^Bmlend a ^Dhand, ^G ^DIn return for ^Agrace.

(Repeat Riff 1) You're on the road, But you've got no destination, You're in the mud, In the maze of her imagination, You love this town, Even if it doesn't ring true, You've been all over, And it's been all over you. (Repeat Riff 2) It's a beautiful day, Don't let it get away, It's a beautiful day.

^F#mTouch me,^G ^Dtake me to that ^Aother place. ^F#mTeach me now,^G ^DI know I'm not a ^Ahopeless case.

(Repeat Riff 1)

^EmSee the world in green and blue, ^DSee China right in front of you, ^EmSee the canyons ^Gbroken my cloud, ^DSee the tuna fleets clearing the sea out, ^EmSee the Bedouin ^Gfires at night, ^DSee the olis fields at first light, And ^Emsee the bird with a ^Gleaf in her mouth, ^DAfter the flood all the colours came out.

(Repeat Riff 2) It was a beautiful day, Don't let it get away, Beautiful Day (Repeat Riff 3)

^F#mTouch me,^G ^Dtake me to that ^Aother place. ^F#mReach me,^G ^Di know i'm not a ^Ahopeless case .
