Beautiful Life chords by Edwin Mccain

Intro:

D   D/F#   G   A7   x2


Verse 1:

    D            D/F#   G
Another beautiful morning under stars and bars
  A7sus4        A7
And F series pickups and rusted out cars
      D            D/F#   G
And they're eatin' breakfast at the strip bar
A7sus4     A7
Just to have a peek?

    D         D/F#    G
And the beer soaked angels spread their wings
  A7sus4            A7
And dream of twenties and diamonds and things
  D         D/F#   G
And somehow that might ease the sting
   A7sus4     A7
Of the company they keep. Yeah?

Interlude:

D   D/F#   G   A7


Verse 2:

    D             D/F#   G
And the vets still talk about the Tet offensive
    A7sus4       A7
And the freshmen boys all look so pensive
    D        D/F#   G
Because living large is so expensive
   A7sus4      A7
Hope daddy fueled the jet?

     D        D/F#    G
And we'll fly off to the Hard Rock casino
     A7sus4       A7
And we'll put on our neatly pressed and fine chinos
     D           D/F#   G
And we'll laugh at the guy in the El Camino
      A7sus4       A7
Is that the only car he could get?


Chorus:

C  G          D
    It's a beautiful life
C  G           D
    It's just as advertised
C  G            D
    It's all for one low price
   C        G    G   D/F# Em7
Just read the fine print, and you'll be content
     A7    D    D/F# G  A7
With your beautiful life

Interlude:

D   D/F#   G   A7


Verse 3:

  D          D/F#    G
The record smoothies say "What a sound"
A7sus4        A7
You're the greatest thing we've found
     D           D/F#    G
But you're gonna have to lose a couple a pounds
      A7sus4   A7
We're gonna put you on TV

  D          D/F#    G
And don't you think our place is so swank
   A7sus4       A7
Don't worry about that guy, he's high on crank
    D          D/F#   G
That's exactly why his last record tanked
  A7sus4        A7
And let that be a lesson to me


Chorus:

C  G          D
    It's a beautiful life
C  G           D
    It's just as advertised
C  G            D
    It's all for one low price
   C        G    G   D/F# Em7
Just read the fine print, and you'll be content
     A7    D    D/F# G  A7
With your beautiful life

Interlude:

D   D/F#   G   A7


Bridge:

Bb (no5)         D
  And all our churches glow
C               D
    Communion wafers trash TV shows
Bb (no5)            D
  Say "Hey, at least you don't have this strife"
    Em7
'Cause you'll be warm and safe
         D   D/F#  G  A7
In your beautiful life
D    D/F#  G  A7
Yeah?


Verse 4:

     D          D/F#   G
And it's hard to tell what's true compassion
     A7sus4        A7
When it's dressed up in hair and nails and fashion
    D          D/F#   G
And the tabloids all rush to cash in
  A7sus4    A7
on what we should believe

   D      D/F#   G
And I hope I never see the day
      A7sus4           A7
When there's nothing left on the planet left to save
   D      D/F#    G
And oxygen is the designer crusade
  A7sus4      A7
As we all fight to breathe?


Outro:

C  G          D
    It's a beautiful life

    It's all for one low price
   C          Bb (no5)
Just read the fine print, and you'll be content
