This isn't the exact song as Lennon plays it, but this version is really nice to play softly when you're trying to get your twin boys to sleep ;) D/B - Basically just hammer off and on the B string as you strum a normal D chord.

G|-2--2--2-2--|
D|-0--0--0-0--|

[Intro]
D/B
Close your eyes, have no fear
The monster's gone, he's on the run and your Daddy's here [Chorus]
Em                                         D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Em                                         D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
[Verse 1]
D/B
Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer
Every day, in every way, it's getting better and better [Chorus]
Em                                         D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
[Bridge]
Bm                B
Out on the ocean, sailing away

G                  D
I can hardly wait

G                  D
To see you come of age

G                  D                      A7   G   F#m  Em
But I guess we'll both just have to have patience

G                          D
'Cause it's a long way to go

G                 D
A hard row to hoe

G                       D                A7    G   F#m  Em
Yes, it's a long way to go but in the meantime...
[Verse 2]
D/B
Before you cross the street, take my hand
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans [Chorus]
Em                                         D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Em                                         D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
[Verse 3]
D/B
Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer
Every day, in every way, it's getting better and better [Chorus]
Em                                         D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Em                                              D/B
Darling, darling, darling, darling (insert your boy's name here)
