James Blunt - 'You're Beautiful' From 'Back to Bedlam'
A rare tab from Worzell - (Actually my only tab - frustrated at not being able to find it anywhere on the internet, I actually bothered to write it down - good song).There's two Guitars - Both have a Capo on the 3rd Fret, everything written relative to capo:
Hammer on & Pull off twice on each chord of the verse: C (hammer on & pull off on the D string) G (hammer on & pull off on the A string) Am (hammer on & pull off on the D string) F (hammer on & pull off on the G string)
C My life is brilliant. G My love is pure. Am I saw an angel. F Of that I'm sure. C She smiled at me on the subway. G She was with another man. Am But I won't lose no sleep on that, F 'Cause I've got a plan.
F G C You're beautiful. You're beautiful. F G C You're beautiful, it's true. F G C C/B Am I saw your face in a crowded place, F G Am And I don't know what to do, F G C 'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye, As we walked on by She could see from my face that I was, Fucking high, And I don't think that I'll see her again, But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. I saw your face in a crowded place, And I don't know what to do, 'Cause I'll never be with you.
F Am F Am F Am G La la la la, la la la la, la la la la, la
You're beautiful. You're beautiful. You're beautiful, it's true. There must be an angel with a smile on her face, When she thought up that I should be with you. But it's time to face the truth, I will never be with you.
[Verse] C My life is brilliant G My love is pure Am I saw an angel F Of that I'm sure C She smiled at me on the subway G She was with another man Am But I won't lose no sleep on that F 'Cause I've got a plan
[Chorus] F G You're beautiful C You're beautiful F G C You're beautiful, it's true F G I saw your face C G Am In a crowded place F G Am And I don't know what to do F G C 'Cause I'll never be with you
[Verse] C Yes, she caught my eye G As we walked on by Am She could see from my face that I was F Fucking high C G And I don't think that I'll see her again Am F But we shared a moment that will last to the end
[Chorus] F G You're beautiful C You're beautiful F G C You're beautiful, it's true F G I saw your face C G Am In a crowded place F G Am And I don't know what to do F G C 'Cause I'll never be with you
Am Am Am D La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-a
[Chorus] F G You're beautiful C You're beautiful F G C You're beautiful, it's true F G There must be an angel C G Am With a smile on her face F G C G Am When she thought up that I should be with you F G Am But it's time to face the truth F G C I will never be with you
Tuning: capo on 8th fret (sounds ok without but doesn't match the music)
It's probably best to print this out and have it all in front of you
When you're reading it because all the different bits are repeated.
I have done all the different parts and labeled them
And the order that they go is at the bottom.
I found it hard to put the rhythm in but its something like
\/\/ \ \/\ (\=Down stroke /=upstroke)
