E-------------------------------------------------

The heart is a bl[A]oom,  [Bm]
[D]shoots up throught[A] the stony ground
But there's no ro[A]om,
[D]no space to rent i[A]n this town

You're out of lu[A]ck
[D]and the reason that yo[A]u had to care,
the traffic is stu[A]ck
[D]and you're not moving[A] anywhere.
You thought you'd found a f[A]riend [Bm]
to take you out of [A]this place
Someone you cou[A]ld len[Bm]d a han[D]d
[D]in return for [A]grace
It's a beautiful day
-Riff 2

, the sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let i get away
Riff 1(more heavily):
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
It's a beautiful day
Riff 2:
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Now changed the chords
-Riff 3:

Riff 1( with the old chords A Bm D..)
[Em]See the world in green and blue
[D]See China right in front of you
[Em]See the canyons [G]broken my cloud
[D]See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out

Riff 3:
[F#m]Touch me[G],       [D]take me to [A]that other place
[F#m]Reach me[G],       [D]i know i'm n[A]ot a hopeless case

For this tab I want to thank, Chiara that has been important to this tab.

BEAUTIFUL DAY (LIVE)
--------------------

U2
tabbed by jules
I've completed the tab now with a little help from a guy called
Jon on the u2-tabs e-group.
By the way edge seems to use standard tune for the live versions
of the new songs. Don't know if they'll change this for the
tour in 2001. Edge has got out the old Explorer for this song.
The piano intro is off tape.
Edge plays some harmonics over the intro:
E----------------------------------------------
B------<7>-------------------------------------
G----------<7>-----------------<7>-------------
D--------------<7>---------<7>-----------------
A----------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------

He then plays riff 1 for the "you're outta luck" bit onwards.
This should give you an idea but it's a very loose riff:
riff 1:
E--------0----------0----------------0---------
B----7------7---7------7---------7-----7-------
G--6---6------7---7------4-----4---4------6----
D----------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------

Edge plays these power chords with distortion for
the chrous:
    [A5]    [B5]    [D5]     [G5]     [D5]      [A5]                                                                                                    
E--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------
D---7---9---12---5----12----7----------------------
A---7---9---12---5----12----7----------------------
E---5---7---10---3----10----5----------------------

Here's the "touch me" bit, sustain the notes as much as possible.
I'm pretty sure about this bit from watching videos...
E-------------------------------------------------------
B---14-14--12-14--15----15----15-15-15--14-12-14-12-14--
G---14-14--14-14-----12----12----14-14--14-14-14-14-14--
D-------------------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------

This is the middle 8, "see the world in green and blue..."
Play Em, D first time then Em, G, D every time after that
   [Em]    [D]             [Em]    [G]    [D]                                                                                                   
E------2--2-------------3---2--2------------
B------3----3-----------3---3----3----------
G------2------2---------0---2------2--------
D--2---0------------2---0---0---------------
A--2----------------2---2-------------------
E--0----------------0---3-------------------

It's back to the chorus chords and the 'solo' bit a few times.
For the 'what you don't have..' bit Edge plays this variation
on riff 1:
E--------0----------0----------0------5--------
B----7------7---7-----------7-----7-----7------
G--6---6------7---7-------7---7-----7-----7----
D----------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------

The back to the 'solo' bit over and over...
Here's the ending (played with fingers not plectrum -
form the full bar chord but just play the strings shown)
    [A]   [Bm]    [D]   [G]     [D]    [A]      [A]   [Bm]    [D] [G]                                                                                                 
E----------------------------------------------3---
B--------------------------------------------3-----
G---6--7--11--4---11---6-----6--7--11--4---4-------
D---7--9--12--5---12---7-----7--9--12--5-5---------
A--------------------------------------------------
E---5--7--10--3---10---5-----5--7--10--3-----------

So that's about it. Please e-mail me any comments etc.
cheers,
jules.

Beautiful Day - Corrections
I figured out the missing parts of the previous
transcription (by Michael Albert) of this new classic song
Tune your guitar a half step down to play it.
Obs: The fill is pretty much right, though the notes are
played a little bit apart from each other. Listen to the
song carefully and you'll get it.

There's no roo[A]m
No sp[D]ace to rent in this[A] town
(Same chords repeat through the rest of the song...)
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
(Same chords for this next part but you can play the fill
also.)
Fill 1
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
Fill 1
A beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
The love is done
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
It's a beautiful day
There are some piano notes that can be played in the
guitar. I'll figure them out and updadte this
transcription.
Thanx!!

I agreed with the other versions of this song except I added

Here is an update to the incomplete tab I made of this song a few days ago.
I now have a complete
version of the song to base it on. The same chord progression is repeated
throughout except for one
part. There is only one fill that really stands out is tabbed. The bridge
still needs to be figured
out. Please feel free to email any updates, comments or corrections.
P.S} I found the lyrics posted at interference.com - I just cut and paste
them - thanks to whoever
wrote them out!

If found a much better (sounding) way of playing the...well... 'Solo' part in
this excellent song. It sounds a little weird on a regular acoustic, but plug
the electric, whack the Edge delay on and play to backing and it sounds great!
