Chords

One of my favorite John Prine songs. He strums the chords primarily on the high strings. My first tab, so feel free to let me know if there's a mistake! [Intro] G C D G x2 [Verse]
G
Some of us spend hours

                           C
In front of a Friday night mirror

D
Trying to figure out the kinda world

                    Am   G
Where the beautiful prosper
Slicking up the kinda hair
                                 C
That the magazines say's a lost cause

D
Picking out the kinda girl in your mind

                   G
To go walking with you
[Chorus]
         C                 G
Beautiful world, beautiful world

           C                   G
Sending me dreams, touching my hair

          C                 Am
Making me cry ... so I know I'm alive

          C      D        G
Beautiful world, why do I hide?
[Interlude] G C D G
G                                                  C
I dunno why I should spend so much time feeling sad

D
I got everything a sinner could hope for

             Am G
This side of Eden
Maybe some day I'll wake up
                   C
And I'll do what I should

D
Write a song to make heaven and earth

               G
Go waltzing in time

          C                G
Beautiful world, beautiful world

           C                   G
Sending me dreams, touching my hair

          C                 Am
Making me cry ... so I know I'm alive

          C      D        G
Beautiful world, why do I hide?
[Interlude] G C D G x2
          C                G
Beautiful world, beautiful world

           C                   G
Sending me dreams, touching my hair

          C                 Am
Making me cry ... so I know I'm alive

          C      D           G
Beautiful world, beautiful world
[Outro] G C D G
