Song: My Beautiful (Acoustic)
Band: Lennon
Album: 5:30 Saturday Morning
Tabbed By: David Strom ~aka: HimuraKenshin
First off I wanna say, this is only my second tab.. theres been several songs I
wanted to do, but they already had a billion versions, so I figured I'd do one for
a band that didnt even have any tabs up yet.
For those of you who are fans of Lennon, the acoustic version of My Beautiful is
very different from the original, but never fear, you can download this version off
of the official Lennon website, www.lennononline.com/video/mybeautifulacoustic.mp3
There are a lot of 'variations' in strumming, especially in the 'outro riff' that
were just too difficult/tedious to tab out. It's much easier to listen to the song,
and get a feel of how its being played, and then just kinda ad-lib' when you play it.
Lastly, there's obviously two guitars being used in this song (beacause of the solo
and backing riffs), but I honnestly cant hear the second guitar during any part of
the song OTHER than the solo. Either the two guitars are PERFECTLY matched during
the entire song, or whoever plays the solo (Lennon or her guitarist), is just
sitting back waiting for their que to play the solo.. either way.. the song just
sounds better with two guitars.
That's it, if you have any question's, comments, requests or corrections please feel

Lyrics:
Wake up every morning to the sound of the radio screaming
6:30, 7:30, 8 o'clock and I got to leave
Walk out on the street with nothing on except the shame of last night
And a number in my hand of a man I don't really need
Where do I fit in?
Where is my place here?
What do I need to say, what do you want to hear?
Where do I fit in?
If she's in your bed..
Where is my beautiful?
Late night, long day, doesn't make much difference to me anyway
You called, I answered, but baby I'm only half awake
"Hush little one.. with you here everything's going to be okay",
Is all you say but what if things don't go that way
Where do I fit in?
Where is my place here?
What do I need to say, what do you want to hear?
Where do I fit in?
If she's in your bed..
Where is my beautiful?
It's over, we both know, we're both tired of playing the parts
I said "goodbye", you said "oh well, nothing's really lost"
Call every now and than just to hear your voice talk to me
You still say everything's alright but it's not and that's something you're too blind to see
Where do I fit in?
Where is my place here?
What do I need to say, what do you want to hear?
Where do I fit in?
If she's in your bed..
Where is my beautiful?
Where do I fit in?
Where is my place here?
If there's nothing for me to say, there's nothing you want to hear..
Where do I fit in?
If she's in your bed?
Where is my beautiful?
Where do I fit in?
If she's in your bed?
Where is my beautiful?
