Hello You Beautiful Thing chords by Jason Mraz

The song is generally the same progression, and can be done with or without barre chords, but the
B flat requires the barre. Other than that, do whatever pleases your ear. Please comment any
corrections I need to make. I'm fairly certain I screwed up the instrumental break, so let me know
how I can correct that as well.
Enjoy the tab, and cheers.

Intro: C   Dm   Bb  Bb  (x2)

C                            Dm
Fall out of bed and catch a fading star
Bb
Fancy I woke up before my alarm
            C                             Dm
Rubbed my mind through my eyes, it's the best I can do
             Bb
Before its automatic habit of returning to you
          C                             Dm
Though I smile as it happens, almost as if it was magic
       Bb
It means there's a god somewhere and he's laughing
         C                      Dm
And I shuffle my slipperless toes to the kitchen
       Bb (one strum)
Still low to the ground, but high on living

Chorus:
      C          Dm                  Bb
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
 C         Dm            Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
       C                            Dm
Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge them aches
Bb
It must be something I did yesterday
          C                            Dm
Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still cold
Bb (one strum)
But in a minute everything's gonna change
      C          Dm                  Bb
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
 C         Dm            Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
 C         Dm            Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
C                    Dm             Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
C                    Dm             Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
Instrumental break (only change of chords):

Am  F
        C                      Dm                       Bb
Looking out from a cul-de-sac watching the bend of the earth
Take the black of the night from the dirt
       C                        Dm
I can see from the depths of my readjusting eyes
   Bb
A reflection of yeses and that ever-changing sky
           C                       Dm
But why do bad dreams linger long after I wake?
         Bb
I don't need no scenes of violence and pain replayed
       C                     Dm
And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray
         Bb (one strum)
But my thoughts are all I got so I try to make them brave
      C          Dm                  Bb
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
 C         Dm            Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
 C         Dm            Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
C                    Dm             Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
C                    Dm             Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
C                    Dm             Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
C                    Dm           Bb (one strum)
This is what I've been waiting for (Hello)
      C          Dm                  Bb
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
 C         Dm            Bb (one strum)
