This is 'Beautiful Day' by the Levellers and it is on the 'Mouth to Mouth'
album. It is pretty easy and I think it is right. However, if yo uhave any
questions then mail me.

Chorus

N.C.                     A                                 F#m

What a beautiful day I'm the king of all time

D                                    E                             F#m

Nothing is impossible in my own powerful mind.

1st verse

F#m

Was on the fifth of November

C#m

When time, it went back,

D

Well some would say that that's impossible

E                                                     F#m

But you and I have never looked back.

And wasn't it incredible

C#m

Oh so beautiful and above all

D

Oh just to see the fuse get lit this time

E                                               F#m

And light a real bonfire for all time.

Chorus

Interlude

Chords at this point are F#m, C#m, D, E, and F#m.

On the CD, Jon plays the melody on his fiddle over the top of these chords.

2nd verse

(Same chords as first verse)

I was drinking in a night club

It felt good to be back

When Hepburn said "I love you"

And Flynn said "Make mine a double Jack"

Was then we planned a revolution

To make things better for all time

When Guevara said "That's crazy"

And ordered up a bottle of wine.

Chorus

Bridge

F#m

In there on the big screen

C#m

Evr'y night I've seen

        D             E                F#          C#m             D
E          F#m         D

The way all things could be, oh for me, oh for me, for me, for me.

Interlude

3rd verse

The news broke after midnight

And we pulled the temples down without a sound

But the generals they were hiding out

The ministers well........

They'd all gone to ground

Wealth redistribution

Became the new solution

So I got the paperbag

And ypu got the one with all the holes.

Chorus

At end of chorus comes this:

                        D                                 E
F#m

Oh yeah and nothing is impossible in my own powerful mind

                            D                                  E
F#m

That's because nothing is impossible in my own powerful mind.
