Guitar tuned down 1/2 step: 
 
A9 E D 
 
A9  E                  D 
Oh my Lord, what a beautiful day 
A9        E                   D 
The sun is shining yeah how it chased those clouds away 
A9        E 
Jump in my old blue car and I 
D 
Drive around to see how far 
A9          E            D 
The road will take me off today 
                    A9  E                    D 
I said hey, hey, hey (hey), I'm tired of this town. 
                      A9 E                   D 
But it's a beautiful (day) day, tired of this town. 
 
 
A9        E            D 
My how the cowboys ride away 
A9          E                     D 
The river's running high, yeah it chased their sins away 
A9      E                   D 
The afternoon I drive to the 'ol Gruene Hall 
A9           E              D 
Stare at the pictures of my heroes on the wall. 
 
REPEAT CHORUS. 
 

F#m             E             D 
Stand of the outside looking in 
F#m          E                 D 
Chasing a dream I've had since I don't remember when 
F#m     E                      D 
Every turn I take's like a roadblock in the way 
F#m                     E              D 
She'll be running for cover Lord, but oh what a beautiful day  
 
REPEAT CHORUS
