Corrinne May - Beautiful Life Chords & Tabs

Corrinne May
Beautiful Life (from the album Crooked Lines; I bought her CD ^^)

Standard tuning
(If you want easier chords, 
Capo 1st fret and F#, G#, A#m and C# become F, G, Am and C respectively)

Verse 1:
          F#          G#
It's in living every moment
     A#m              C#
Like it could be our last
         F#          G#
For our hearts are restless
           A#m             C#
Till they rest in love's caress

And the moments we remember
They interweave our hearts
Like a tapestry surrounding us
That we forget to touch

Bridge:
             F#            G#
It's why we wake up every morning
             A#m               C#
It's why we seek each other's smile
             F#                 G#
It's why we know that it's all worth it
             A#m                 C#(hold)
It's why we hold on, we make the sacrifice

Chorus 1:
             F#        G#
It's in the eyes of a child
       A#m              C#
As you hold her in your arms
          F#             G#        A#m     C#
And your heart starts to beat once again
          F#         G#
And your world is reborn
        A#m             C#
In the freshness of her song
F#(hold)       G#(hold)
Smile, it's a beautiful life

F# G# A#m C# (x2)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/corrinne_may/beautiful_life_crd.html ]
Verse 2 (repeat the chord pattern):
It's in the hope of the poor man
As he struggles to make ends meet
It's in the laughter of his children
As they play in the street

Don't need a million dollars
To raise a happy child
You just need a pair of loving arms
And thhe time to make her smile

Bridge

Chorus 2:
             F#         G#
It's in the tears of a friend
        A#m           C#
As you finally make amends
          F#             G#           A#m   C#
And your soul starts to breathe once again
          F#           G#
And the weight of the world
       A#m           C#
Falls away with one word
F#(hold)        G#(hold)
Smile, it's a beautiful life

F# G# A#m C# (x2)

F#    G#
Oh woah Oh...
A#m    C#
Oh woah oh...
F#     G#(strum twice and hold)
Oh woah

Chorus 3:
             F#          G#
It's in the touch of her lips
        A#m           C#
As she leans in for a kiss
          F#              G#          A#m   C#
And your world starts to spin once again
         F#           G#
And two hearts become one
      A#m      C#
As a dream is begun
F#(hold)        G#(hold)
Smile, it's a beautiful life

F# G# A#m       
       C#       F#    G# A#m
It's a beautiful life
       C#       F#    G# A#m
It's a beautiful life
       C#       F#    G# A#m (fade out)
It's a beautiful life


Done by ear, hope it's okay. :) Remember, if you have a capo with you capo the 1st 
fret and use F, G, Am and C instead. Cheers!~
