How Beautiful

I couldn't find any good renditions online, so I listened to it and wrote it all out.  
bass notes get tedious, but they are needed to make the song sound like the real one, so 
them.

****Listen to song to pick out the intro/outro and the section right after the first 
(straight chords don't sound the best in these spots).
I hope it works out for you.  Enjoy.    --Dave--
