here is the cool oponing riff of this earlier version of BEAUTIFUL DAY
normal tuning
g|----------------------------------------|
d|----------------------------------------|
a|----17---17---17---17-17-15----15-17----|
e|----------------------------17----------|
you also can play it at 5th fret, but it sound better at 17th
the riff appers again in the middle of the song after chorus #1
for the verse part it's almost the same as in 'with or without you' but faster:
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-----------------|
e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-----------------|-----------------|
e|-----------------|-----------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
for the chorus part it's the same as in BD:
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-------------5-5-|-5---------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-----|-----------------|
e|-5-5-5-7-7-7-----|-----------------|-------------5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
for the interlude it's hard to hear what's the rhytym, i think it can be like this:
g|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| Repeat
d|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
a|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-| 2x
e|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
e|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-----------------|-----------------|
e|-----------------|-----------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
and then again with the chorus (note that the end of the interlude it's the same chord structure
as the end of the interlude of BD, another clue to think 'always' a earlier version of BD)
for the last ending:
g|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-5-5-5-5-5-5-----|-----------------|
e|-------------5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official U2 tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
