Chords and lyrics for Beautiful by Marillion (key of F).
Verse 1
This is what I was able to see looking at Steven Rothery while playing live
and acoustic in Riccione some
7 years ago.
I'm afraid I have no youtube video to attach to this: I was too busy
enjoying the set to film it, sorry...
[C]Everybody [Em7]knows we live in a [Am]world where they give [G][Gadd11]bad names[G] to [F/C]beautiful
[C6add11][F/C]things[G6][Gadd11][G]
[C]Everybody [Em7]knows we live in a [Am]world where we don't [G][Gadd11]give [G]beautiful[F/C] things a
[C6add11]second [F/C][G]glance[G6][Gadd11]
[C]Heaven [Em7]only knows we live in [Am]a world where what we [G][Gadd11]call [G][F/C]beautiful is just
[C6add11][F/C]something on [G]sale[G6][Gadd11]
[C]People [Em7]laughing behind their [Am]hands As the fragile [G]and[Gadd11] the [G][F/C]sensitive are
[C6add11]given no[F/C] [G]chance[G6][Gadd11]
[C]And the leaves [Em7]turn from [Am]red to [G][Gadd11]brown[G]
[F/C]To be [C6add11]trodden [F/C]down
[G]To be [Gadd11]trodden [G6]down
[C]And the leaves [Em7]turn from [Am]red to [G][Gadd11]brown[G]
[F/C]Fall[C6add11] to the [F/C]ground
[G]Fall [Gadd11]to the [G6]ground
[C]We don't have to [Em7]live in a [Am]world [G][Gadd11]where we [G]give [F/C]bad [C6add11]names to[F/C] [G]beautiful
[Gadd11]things[G6]
[C]We should [Em7]live in a [Am]beautiful [G][Gadd11]world[G]
[F/C]We [C6add11]should give [F/C]beautiful a [G]second[Gadd11] glance[G6]
[C]And the leaves [Em7]fall from [Am]red to [G][Gadd11]brown[G]
[F/C]To be [C6add11]trodden [F/C]down
[G][Gadd11]Trodden down[G6]
[C]And the leaves [Em7]turn green[Am] to red[G] [Gadd11]to brown[G]
[F/C]Fall [C6add11]to the [F/C]ground
[G]And [Gadd11]get kicked[G6] around
[Am7]You strong [Dadd11]enough to [F7]be..
[Am7]Have you the [Dadd11]faith to [F7]be..
[Am7]Sane [Dadd11]enough to [F7]be ..
[F7]Honest enough to [Am7]say..
[Am7]Don't have [Dadd11]to be the [F7]same..
[Am7]Don't have [Dadd11]to be this [F7]way
[Am7]C'mon and [Dadd11]sign your [F7]name
[F]You wild enough [G]to remain [Em]beautiful?
[F]Beautiful[Em][G]
[C]All the leaves [Em7]turn from [Am]red to [G][Gadd11]brown[G]
[F/C]To be [C6add11]trodden [F/C]down
[G][Gadd11]Trodden down[G6]
[C]And we all fall[Em7] green to [Am]red to [G][Gadd11]brown[G]
[F/C]Fall [C6add11]to the [F/C]ground
[G]But we can [Gadd11]turn it [G6]around
[Am7]You [Dadd11]strong [F7]enough to be..
[Am7]Why [Dadd11]don't [F7]you stand up and say
[Am7]Give[Dadd11] [F7]yourself a break
[Am7]They[Dadd11] laugh [F7]at you anyway
[F]So[G] [Em]why don't you stand up and be
[F][G][Em]Beautiful.
[C]Black, white, [Em7]red, gold, [Am]and [G][Gadd11]brown[G]
[F/C]We're [C6add11]stuck in[F/C] this world
[G][Gadd11]Nowhere to go[G6]
[C]Turnin' [Em7][Am]around[G][Gadd11][G]
[F/C]What [C6add11]are you [F/C]so afraid of?
[G]Show [Gadd11]us what [G6]you're made of
[C]Be yourself and[Em7] be [Am][G]beautiful[G][Gadd11]
[F/C][C6add11]Beautiful[F/C]
