Tabs

Group: Joydrop
Song: Beautiful

TABbed by Ken Taylor ([email protected])
(in my typical too-much-information fashion :)

Chords relative to capo 1st fret
(everything's actually one half step up from what's written)

(chord arrangement with lyrics appears at end)

Intro/Verse chords:
Am7Am7 - x02010
Cadd11 - xx3010
C/GC/G - 3x2010
Cadd11/G - 3x3010
D7sus2 - xx0210
E MajorE - 022100

Strumming pattern is something like this (play
along with album to figure it out):

(intro repeats this measure 4x)
(verse does it 2x)
Am7Am7        Cadd11
|------------0--0------0--0-|
|------------1--1----1-1--1-|
|--------0---0-------0-0----|
|--------2--------3--3------|
|--0--0---------------------|
|---------------------------|

C/GC/G  Cadd11  (2x)
|------------0--0------0--0-|
|------------1--1----1-1--1-|
|--------0---0-------0-0----|
|--------2--------3--3------|
|---------------------------|
|--3--3---------------------|

D7sus2
|--------0---0--0----0----|--------0---0--1----1-0---|
|--------1---1--1----1----|--------1---1--1----1-----|
|-----2--2---2--2----2----|--------2---2--2----2-----|
|--0--------------0-------|--0--0-----------0--------|
|-------------------------|--------------------------|
|-------------------------|--------------------------|

E MajorE
(just kinda strummed similar to previous patterns
 ... listen to album)

pre chorus:
chords just kinda strummed ... listen to album
A minorAm - x02210
G/BG/B - x2x033
Cadd9Cadd9 - x32033
Dsus2Dsus2 - x00230
FF - 133211
E MajorE - 022100

Chorus pattern:
(actually electric guitar just plays one note
 instead of chords ... but chords sound
 better on an acoustic)

   A5A5 E5E5 A5B5    F5F5    E5E5    E5E5    B5B5
|--------------------------|----------------------------|
|--------------------------|----------------------------|
|-----2-----2/4~~~~-4------|----------------------------|
|-----2--2--2/4~~~~-4---3--|--3--2--2----7/9-9-9-9-9-4--|
|-(0)-0--2--0/2~~~~-2-0-3--|--3--2--2----5/7-7-7-7-7-2--|
|--------0--------------1--|--1--0--0-------------------|

usually plays 1 3/4 times (silence the last 2 beats)
(ie ends on second E5E5)


the bridge chords:
Asus2Asus2 - x02200 (this one loud)
Asus2/G - 3x2200 (the rest quiet)
FF - 133211
E MajorE - 022100
Dsus2Dsus2 - x00230
E MajorE - 022100


The last pre-chorus is different,
it goes
A minorAm G/BG/B Cadd9Cadd9 Dsus2Dsus2 then:
FF - 133211
Ffun - 133200 (it's actually FM7add11 ...
G+G - 355433 but Ffun is shorter :)
G6G6 - 355400
FF - 133211
Ffun - 133200
G+G - 355433
E MajorE - 022100
FF - 133211
Ffun - 133200
E MajorE - 022100

again, listen to album to get it :)


Before the last chorus, there's a cool descending thing
that I think is actually done mostly on the bass, but
you can emulate it if you want to when playing the song
on an acoustic:

   E5E5  D5D5  C5C5  B5B5  A#5A#5
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|-----9-----7-----5-----4-----3--|
|-----7-0-0-5-0-0-3-0-0-2-0-0-1--|
|--0-----------------------------|


Last chorus repeats Chorus Pattern 5 times, then:

End Pattern:
   A5A5 E5E5 A5B5    F5F5
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|-----2-----2/4~~~~-4------|
|-----2--2--2/4~~~~-4---3--|
|--0--0--2--0/2~~~~-2-0-3--|
|--------0--------------1--|

    E5E5   C5C5   D5D5   A augmentedA
|---------------------------0--|
|---------------------------2--|
|-------------5------7------2--|
|------2------5------7------2--|
|------2------3--x-x-5--x-x-0--|
|--x-x-0--x-x------------------|
