Hello You Beautiful Thing
View chords used in this chart
Intro: C Dm Bb Bb (2x)
C Dm
Fall out of bed and catch a fading star
Bb
Fancy I woke up before my alarm
C Dm
Rubbed my mind through my eyes, it's the best I can do
Bb
Before its automatic habit of returning to you
C Dm
Though I smile as it happens, almost as if it was magic
Bb
It means there's a god somewhere and he's laughing
C Dm
And I shuffle my slipperless toes to the kitchen
Bb (one strum)
Still low to the ground, but high on living
[Refrão]
C Dm Bb
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
C Dm Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
C Dm
Waking up, I stretch my body and acknowledge them aches
Bb
It must be something I did yesterday
C Dm
Pour a cup of liquid gold, because my engine's still cold
Bb (one strum)
But in a minute everything's gonna change
C Dm Bb
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
C Dm Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
C Dm Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
C Dm Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
C Dm Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
Instrumental break (only change of chords):
Am F
Am F
C Dm Bb
Looking out from a cul-de-sac watching the bend of the earth
Take the black of the night from the dirt
C Dm
I can see from the depths of my readjusting eyes
Bb
A reflection of yeses and that ever-changing sky
C Dm
But why do bad dreams linger long after I wake?
Bb
I don't need no scenes of violence and pain replayed
C Dm
And I feel quite foolish sometimes when I pray
Bb (one strum)
But my thoughts are all I got so I try to make them brave
C Dm Bb
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
C Dm Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
C Dm Bb
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
C Dm Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
C Dm Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
C Dm Bb
This is what I've been waiting for (This is what I've been waiting for)
C Dm Bb (one strum)
This is what I've been waiting for (Hello)
C Dm Bb
And I know, I know, it's gonna be a good day
C Dm Bb (one strum)
Hello, hello, you beautiful thing
