Colin Hay - Beautiful World
V1
G D G
My my my its a beautiful world
C D G
I like swimming in the sea
C D Em
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
C D Em
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
C D G
I like swimming in the sea
V2
G D G
My my my its a beautiful world
C D G
I like drinking Irish tea
C D Em
With a little bit of Lapsan su Chang
C D G
I like making my own tea
V3
G D G
My my my its a beautiful world
C D G
I like driving in my car
C D Em
I roll the top down sometimes I travel quite far
C D Em
Drive to the ocean stare up at the stars
C D G
I like driving in my car
Chorus/bridge
Em C D G
All around is anger, automatic guns
Em C D G
Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones
Em C D G
Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold
Em G
Said he'd been swamped by calls this week
C D
And he could not shake his coooooooooooold
V4
G D G
Still this emptiness persists
C D G
Perhaps this is as good as it gets
C D Em
When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes
C D Em
Now leave the party early at least with no regrets
C D Em
I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets
C D G
Yeah this is as good as it gets
V5
G D G
My my my its a beautiful world
C D G
I like sleeping with Marie
C D Em
She is one sexy girl - full of mystery
C D Em
She says she doesn't love me but likes my company
C D G
For now that's good enough for me
V6
G D G
My my my its a beautiful world
C D G
I like swimming in the sea
C D Em
I like to go out beyond the white breakers
C D Em
Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one
C D G
I like swimming in the sea
Repeat verse and chorus chords once and end
My first ever try at this. You definitely need to have a feel for this song.
Hope it all makes sense
