Everyday like the one before.
       F#m                 F#m6        
Little town full of little people,

There goes the baker with his tray like always.
                       A/C#  -  D
The same old bread and rolls to sell.
      F   -   G    -   C
Every morning just the same 
          Ebadd9-F   -  Bb
since the morning that we came,
        Gm  -   Am7  -  Bbmaj7 -
To this poor provintial town.

About a beanstalk and an ogor and an...

[Group of Women]
Look there she goes that girl is strange no question.
                      A/C#  -   D
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
      F    -  G - C
[Woman #1]
Never part of any crowd.
           Ebadd9 -F   -   Bb

That's too expensive.
      Dm7     E7        A7sus4      A7 - D 
[Belle]
There must be more than this provincial life.


            A7sus4
[Book Shop Clerk]
Ah! Belle!
            A7                                  D         A7sus4
[Belle]
Good Morning! I've come to return the book I've borrowed!
                 A7
[Book Shop Clerk]
Finished already?
                     D                              A7sus4
[Belle]
Oh I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?
          A7               D
[Book Shop Clerk]
Ha, ha. Not since yesterday!
                           A7sus4       A7
[Belle]
That's alright. I'll borrow...this one!
                          F
[Book Shop Clerk]
That one?! But you've read it twice!
             C7sus4 C7 F
[Belle]
Well it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells,
C7sus4                D 
a prince in disguise!
                   A7sus4                    A7 D
[Book Shop Clerk]
Well if you like it all that much, it's yours.
[Belle]
But sir!
        A7sus4
[Book Shop Clerk]
I insist.
                                   A5 A7 - D
[Belle]
Well thank you! Thank you very much!


                          A7   -  D -A-D-A - Bm
[Group Of Men]
Look, there she goes that girl is so peculiar. 
                  A/C#  - D
I wonder if she's feeling well.
       F   -  G   -   C
[Group Of Women]
With a dreamy far off look.
        Ebadd9 - F  - Bb
[Group Of Men]
And her nose stuck in a book.
       Gm  -  Am7  - Bbmaj7-A7   -    D
[Villigers]
What a puzzle to the rest of us, this Belle.


G Gmaj7 G6
[Belle]
Oh! 
      A7sus4-A7/G-F#m B7sus4
Isn't this amazing? 
        B7       D/E  E7 Em7/A A9
It's my favorite part because 
       C6/D D C/D D7
you'll see. 
G Gmaj9/F# Em7
Here's 
          A7           F#m7 B7sus4        B9       D/E
where she meets prince charming. But she won't discover
          E7               Fmaj7 - F6 - Fmaj7 - F6 - Em7 A5 D
that it's him till chapter three.


                   A7   -   D  - A  -  D - A - Bm
[Woman #3]
Now It's no wonder that her name means beauty, 
                      A9 - D 
her looks have got no parallel.
      F    -    G   -  C
[Man #1]
But behind that fair facade, 
     Eb    -     F   -  Bb
I'm afraid she's rather odd.
     Gm9   -   Am7  -   A#maj7- A7sus -
Very different from the rest of us.
      Gm   -  Am7  -   A#maj7- A7sus - 
[Villigers]
She's nothing like the rest of us. Yes, 
Gm    -   Am   -   Bb   -  A7  - D     
different from the rest of us is Belle.

[Gaston]
Right from the moment when i met her, saw her, 
                      G/B - C
I said she's gorgeous and I fell.
        Ebadd9  -  F -  Bb
Here in town there's only she, 
       C#add9-Eb- Ab
who is beautiful as me. 
       Fm  -  Gm7   -  Abmaj7- G7  - C      F - 
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle.

     G/F - F -
[Gaston Groupies]
Look there 
   G/F - F -

   G/F    C/E - C - Ab
Oh he's so cute!
   Bb/Ab - Ab -
Be still 
   Bb/Ab - Ab -

    Bb7/G#-Eb/G
I'm hardly breathing. 
     Cm     D7          G7sus4      G7       D -
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute.

     E/D -
[Man #1]
Some cheese

     E7/D -  A
[Cheese Merchant]
I'll get the knife

              F -
[Gaston]
Please let me through!

     G/F -
[Woman #6]
This bread -

      F -
[Woman #7]
Those fish -

      G/F -
[Woman #6]
it's stale!

     F -
[Woman #7]
they smell!

  G/F   -   C/E
[Men]
Madame's mistaken.

            Am
[Women]

                      A7    -     D   -   A - D- A - Bm
[Townsfolk]
Look there she goes, a girl who's strange but special
                A9- D
A most peculiar mad'moiselle!

       F  - G  -  C
[Women]
It's a pity and a sin

    Eb   -  F    -    Bb
[Men]
She doesn't quite fit in

           Gm9  - Am7-Bbmaj7-A7sus4 -
[Townsfolk]
'Cause she really is a funny girl
  Gm  -  Am7 -  A#maj7-A7sus -
A beauty but a funny girl
    Gm7 - Am7 - Bb  - Asus4
She really is a funny girl
