Beauty - Tim Minchin
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This song is actually in the key of Eflat, however I have tabbed it out in D.
This allows you to play most of the chords open and it sounds much better.
To play the song in its original key, put a capo on the first fret.
The song should be picked, not strummed. Listen to it to get a better idea.
