Beautiful World

Colin Hay - Beautiful World

V1

G D G

My my my its a beautiful world

C D G

I like swimming in the sea

C D Em

I like to go out beyond the white breakers

C D Em

Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one

C D G

I like swimming in the sea

V2

G D G

My my my its a beautiful world

C D G

I like drinking Irish tea

C D Em

With a little bit of Lapsan su Chang

C D G

I like making my own tea

V3

G D G

My my my its a beautiful world

C D G

I like driving in my car

C D Em

I roll the top down sometimes I travel quite far

C D Em

Drive to the ocean stare up at the stars

C D G

I like driving in my car

Chorus/bridge

Em C D G

All around is anger, automatic guns

Em C D G

Death in large numbers no respect for women or our little ones

Em C D G

Tried talking to Jesus but he just put me on hold

Em G

Said he'd been swamped by calls this week

C D

And he could not shake his coooooooooooold

V4

G D G

Still this emptiness persists

C D G

Perhaps this is as good as it gets

C D Em

When you've given up the drink and those nasty cigarettes

C D Em

Now leave the party early at least with no regrets

C D Em

I watch the sun as it comes up I watch it as it sets

C D G

Yeah this is as good as it gets

V5

G D G

My my my its a beautiful world

C D G

I like sleeping with Marie

C D Em

She is one sexy girl - full of mystery

C D Em

She says she doesn't love me but likes my company

C D G

For now that's good enough for me

V6

G D G

My my my its a beautiful world

C D G

I like swimming in the sea

C D Em

I like to go out beyond the white breakers

C D Em

Where a man can still be free or a woman if you are one

C D G

I like swimming in the sea

Repeat verse and chorus chords once and end

My first ever try at this. You definitely need to have a feel for this song.

Hope it all makes sense
