Beautiful

Words & Music:

Carole King

 

CHORUS:

Cm                         Eb7/B Ab       Fm7

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face

    Eb/Bb          Cm                   F7

And show the world all the love in your heart.

     Ab                                          Eb/Bb

Then people gonna treat you better, you're gonna find,

                          B7               Eb/Bb   Ebdim/Bb   Ab/Bb

Yes you will, that you're beautiful as you feel.

 

Cm             Cm/Bb          Cm/A           Ab

Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing

         G          D7-9             G

I've got nothing to do but watch the passersby.

Fm7                           Eb/G

Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing

          F#dim                       G

And they don't see it showing. Why do I?

 

CHORUS:

 

Ab/Bb   Eb   Db6   Ab/C   Ab   Eb/G   Fm7   Eb/G   B7

 

C#m          C#m/B            C#m/A          A            G#

I have often asked myself the reason for the sadness in a world

      Eb7-9            G#

Where tears are just a lullaby.

F#m7                        E/G#                            Gdim

If there is an answer maybe love can end the madness, maybe not,

                    G#

Oh, but we can only try.

 

C#m           E7/B         A              F#m

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face

    E/B            C#m                  F#7  E/G#  Am/F#   F#7/A#

And show the world all the love in your heart.

     A                                           E/B

Then people gonna treat you better, you're gonna find,

                          C7

Yes you will, that you're beautiful.

       F#m7              Gdim             E

You're beautiful, you're beautiful as you feel.
