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?

        It's just as advertised
C   G                        D
        It's all for one low price
     C                   Bb (no5)
