    One of my mom’s favorite songs. She passed a while ago. Videos like this keep her alive. Thank you.

      Very touching comment. I'm glad that her memory lives on in music. My condolences to you.

    Tuning is EADGad, chords are A Bm D G D A for chorus and verses.

      How to play these chords with the EADGAD tuning? SORRY, im noob

  • @musicgravy
    @musicgravy  13 лет назад +14

    @kaifing Thank you, always good to get feedback.
    I tuned down the top 2 strings a whole step.... so the tuning was E. A. D. G . a. d.
    While not entirely true to the original, it just sounded better than playing with standard tuning (for a solo performance).

    Thanks a lot! Really glad you enjoyed it!
    I don't use tabs, but the tuning is mentioned in the comments here.
    The only chords in the song are A/Bm/D/G/ also F#m/Em.... hope that helps!

    The heart is a bloom
    Shoots up through the stony ground
    There's no room
    No space to rent in this town
    You're out of luck
    And the reason that you had to care
    The traffic is stuck
    And you're not moving anywhere
    You thought you'd found a friend
    To take you out of this place
    Someone you could lend a hand
    In return for grace
    It's a beautiful day
    Sky falls, you feel like
    It's a beautiful day
    Don't let it get away
    You're on the road
    But you've got no destination
    You're in the mud
    In the maze of her imagination
    You love this town
    Even if that doesn't ring true
    You've been all over
    And it's been all over you
    It's a beautiful day
    Don't let it get away
    It's a beautiful day (Oooh, ooh)
    Touch me
    Take me to that other place
    Teach me love
    I know I'm not a hopeless case
    See the world in green and blue
    See China right in front of you
    See the canyons broken by cloud
    See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
    See the Bedouin fires at night
    See the oil fields at first light
    And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
    After the flood all the colors came out
    Day, Day
    Day, Day
    It was a beautiful day
    Don't let it get away
    Beautiful day
    Touch me
    Take me to that other place
    Reach me
    I know I'm not a hopeless case
    What you don't have, you don't need it now
    What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
    What you don't have, you don't need it now
    Don't need it now
    Was a beautiful day
