There's Just Nothing Better Than A Beard chords by The Beards

This song is an epic, a true masterpiece from the album Having A Beard Is The New Not Having A Beard. This
has the potential to be a great campfire song. Add incomprehensible wailing near the end of the song for
dramatic effect.

With the intro you can play around with the D and Em chords using the 2nd and 3rd frets on the high e. Some
chords require a bit of a staccato strum. Try and find the timings, it's easy enough once you get the rhythm.
The end gets hard to tab, just follow the chords and improvise, maybe scream loudly about beards and you'll
get it.

VERSE 1
E                 B                  E                        AB
I've sat upon the mountains with the wind blowin' in my hair
F#m                       E              B
I've watched the sun rays sparkle on the sea
A                       E                B                   E
I've walked through the forests and I've breathed the purest air
E                        B               A
And I've felt, warm soft sand, 'neath my feet
A                B              E
I've laid in the water and I've soared above the ground
E                                A
I've sat in the silence and I've listened to the sound
A                    B                 Abm           Dbm
The more that I have seen and done one thing remains clear
F#m           E
There's just nothing better than a beard


VERSE 2
E                 B           E                       AB
I've read all the books, I've written all the songs
F#m                          E               B
I've conquered the world and walked upon the moon
A                       E            B            E
I've met with kings and emperors and often I have found
E                       B             A
That I've had, the best beard, in the room
A                 B            E
I've made love to every single woman I've met
E                               A
I stopped global warming, and I freed Tibet
A                        B          Abm                Dbm
But in spite of all I've loved, and all that I've held dear
F#m                  E
There's just nothing better than a beard

Better than a beard


VERSE 3
E                B
And on the day I died
  Dbm                          AB
I crossed to the other side
F#m                  Abm      B
And in the beauty of heaven I stood
A               E            B                   E
I sang with the angels and I touched the face of God
       E           B                 A
Oh and I, felt his beard, and it was good
A                                     B               E
Then I stood in his presence, and the Lord said to me son
E                                  A
"You must return to Earth for your work is not yet done!"
A                  B            Abm            Dbm
"I send you with a message, for all mankind to hear"
F#m                   E      A      E
