Beautiful Performed by: Christina Aguilera Written by: Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes) Album: Stripped Arranged for Guitar by: nocab@shaw.ca My Notes: Don't laugh, this is an awesome song, too bad it has a tweeny pop singer to it! Don't get me wrong Christina sings this song very well, but Linda Perry is not so bad herself. Could not find this song anywhere, so I figured it out for my daughter. As always, corrections are always welcomed.
