Chords

Note: "Beautiful" changes its key at the Bridge from Bb to Db and returns to the key of Bb at the next verse. Brian Eno collaborated but does not share writing credit, he "played" Electronic Soundscapes on this track. It is easier to play this at Capo 1 if you so desire, just transpose -1 and enjoy Key: Bb [Verse 1]

Bb
Snowman sitting in the sun

Doesn't have time to waste He had a little bit too much fun Now his head's erased

Bb
Back in the house

Family of three Two doing the laundry And one in the nursery

Bb
We brought brand new baby

Back from Bangladesh Thought we'd name her Emily [Chorus]

Bb
She's beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful [Verse 2]

Bb
Yes sir, head's erased

Brain's a bowl of jelly Hasn't hurt his sense of taste Judging from his belly

Bb
But back in the house

Family of four now Two doing the laundry And two on the kitchen floor

Bb
We brought a brand new baby back

From mainland China Sailed across the China Sea [Chorus]

Bb
She's beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful (Key Change to Db) [Bridge]

Db
Go-kart sitting in the shade
You don't need a ticket to ride
It's summertime, summertime
Slip down a water slide

Db
Little kid dancing in the grass

Legs like rubber band It's summertime, summertime There's a line at the candy stand

Db
Keep and eye on them children

Eye on them children in the pool

Db
You'd better

Db
Keep and eye on them children

                                    Bb
Eye on them children in the p-o-o-l

(Key Change to Bb) [Verse 3]

Bb
We brought a brand new baby

Back from Kosovo That was nearly seven years ago

Bb
He cried all night

Could not sleep His eyes were bright Dark and deep

Bb
Beautiful

Beautiful
