D                 Ashoots up throught the stony ground
                 A     Bm     D     GBut there's no room,
D                 Ano space to rent in this town

                  A     Bm     D     Gthe traffic is stuck
D                    Aand you're not moving anywhere.
                           A     Bm     D     GYou thought you'd found a friend
D                  Ato take you out of this place

, the sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
It's a beautiful day
Don't let i get away


Riff 1(more heavily):
You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if it doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you


It's a beautiful day

Riff 2:
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Riff 1( with the old chords A Bm D..)


EmSee the world in green and blue
DSee China right in front of you
Em              GSee the canyons broken my cloud
DSee the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
Em             GSee the bedouin fires at night
DSee the olis fields at first light

DAfter the flood all the colours came out
