Beautiful Boy Chords & Lyrics by John Lennon

Beautiful Boy

guitar chords lyrics

John Lennon

This isn't the exact song as Lennon plays it, but this version is really nice to
play softly when you're trying to get your twin boys to sleep ;)

D/B - Basically just hammer off and on the B string as you strum a normal D chord.

B|-0--3h-3-3--|
G|-2--2--2-2--|
D|-0--0--0-0--|

D/B
Close your eyes, have no fear
The monster's gone, he's on the run and your Daddy's here

Em D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Em D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

D/B
Before you go to sleep, say a little prayer
Every day, in every way, it's getting better and better

Em D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Em D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Bm B
Out on the ocean, sailing away

G D
I can hardly wait!
G D
To see you come of age!
G D A7 G F# E
But I guess we'll both just have to have patience

G D
'Cause it's a long way to go
G D
A hard row to hoe
G D A7 G F# E
Yes it's a long way to go but in the meantime...

D/B
Before you cross the street, take my hand
Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans

Em D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Em D/B
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy
Em D/B
Darling, darling, darling [insert your boy's name here]
