Group: Joydrop
Song: Beautiful
TABbed by Ken Taylor (taylok2@rpi.edu)
(in my typical too-much-information fashion :)
Chords relative to capo 1st fret
(everything's actually one half step up from what's written)
(chord arrangement with lyrics appears at end)
Intro/Verse chords:
Am7 - x02010
Cadd11 - xx3010
C/G - 3x2010
Cadd11/G - 3x3010
D7sus2 - xx0210
E - 022100
Strumming pattern is something like this (play
along with album to figure it out):
(intro repeats this measure 4x)
(verse does it 2x)
Am7 Cadd11
|------------0--0------0--0-|
|------------1--1----1-1--1-|
|--------0---0-------0-0----|
|--------2--------3--3------|
|--0--0---------------------|

C/G Cadd11 (2x)
|------------0--0------0--0-|
|------------1--1----1-1--1-|
|--------0---0-------0-0----|

|--0--------------0-------|--0--0-----------0--------|

E
(just kinda strummed similar to previous patterns
... listen to album)
pre chorus:
chords just kinda strummed ... listen to album
Am - x02210
G/B - x2x033
Cadd9 - x32033
Dsus2 - x00230
F - 133211
E - 022100
Chorus pattern:
(actually electric guitar just plays one note
instead of chords ... but chords sound
better on an acoustic)
A5 E5 A5B5 F5 E5 E5 B5
|--------------------------|----------------------------|
|--------------------------|----------------------------|
|-----2-----2/4~~~~-4------|----------------------------|
|-----2--2--2/4~~~~-4---3--|--3--2--2----7/9-9-9-9-9-4--|
|-(0)-0--2--0/2~~~~-2-0-3--|--3--2--2----5/7-7-7-7-7-2--|
|--------0--------------1--|--1--0--0-------------------|
usually plays 1 3/4 times (silence the last 2 beats)
(ie ends on second E5)
the bridge chords:
Asus2 - x02200 (this one loud)
Asus2/G - 3x2200 (the rest quiet)
F - 133211
E - 022100
Dsus2 - x00230
E - 022100
The last pre-chorus is different,
it goes
Am G/B Cadd9 Dsus2 then:
F - 133211
Ffun - 133200 (it's actually FM7add11 ...
G - 355433 but Ffun is shorter :)
G6 - 355400
F - 133211
Ffun - 133200
G - 355433
E - 022100
F - 133211
Ffun - 133200
E - 022100
again, listen to album to get it :)
Before the last chorus, there's a cool descending thing
that I think is actually done mostly on the bass, but
you can emulate it if you want to when playing the song
on an acoustic:
E5 D5 C5 B5 A#5
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|-----9-----7-----5-----4-----3--|
|-----7-0-0-5-0-0-3-0-0-2-0-0-1--|
|--0-----------------------------|
Last chorus repeats Chorus Pattern 5 times, then:
End Pattern:
A5 E5 A5B5 F5
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|-----2-----2/4~~~~-4------|
|-----2--2--2/4~~~~-4---3--|
|--0--0--2--0/2~~~~-2-0-3--|
|--------0--------------1--|
