Beautiful Girl Chords & Tabs
New song that she plays on tenor ukelele (same tuning as top 4 on guitar). Tabbed from
Electric Factory 10/17/2011.
Technically, the chord labeled A13 is an A7(13), but that's a pain to read/write, so
I've typed it the other way.
capo 3 (fret numbers relative)

Verse 1 (fingerpicked)
D G6
You wanna walk into the room like that other girl does
The one that's always making everybody fall in love
Em(9) A13
You see, girl you're a lot like me
D
She rearranges all the light in the room
G6
So you're always in the shadows
Em(9)
Well that's what it feels like to you
A13
Baby, I've been there too
Prechorus
Em(9) A13
And I know how much it can sometimes hurt
D G6
You feel like the whole world has made you the ugly girl
Em(9) A13
Take it from me that you have to see it first
Chorus (strummed thru outro)
D G6
So before you trade in your summer skin for those high heeled shoes
Em(9)
To make him wanna be with you
A13
Let me remind you one more time
D G6
That maybe you're beautiful but you just can't see
Em(9)
So why don't you trust me
A13 D
They'll see it too you beautiful girl, you
Verse 2
You wanna lay the blame on somebody else
All these tiny little minds that leave you up on a shelf
But okay, I've seen it done that way
Just in case nobody ever comes through
Riding in to come to your rescue
You still have a chance
You don't have to be asked to dance
Prechorus 2
I know how much you've been dying to say
"Look how much everybody loves me"
Guess who gets left when everyone else fades away
Chorus
Guitar solo over verse changes
Outro on verse changes (fingerpicked last time)
("You beautiful, beautiful, beautiful... girl")
