Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)
words & music by John Winston Ono Lennon (1980)
Strum Pattern: D-DU-UDU
Note: I have simplified this arrangement. For variety it can be done as D to D6.
Example:
D D6
D-D U-UDU
Note: Em7 can be replaced by Em. I personally prefer Em7.
The D in the Middle 8 can be done as a D7.
