Beautiful Day

BEAUTIFUL DAY ------------- Artist: U2 Album: All That You Can't Leave Behind Drummer: Larry Mullen Jr. Timing: 4/4 Tabbed by: Joe Tucker ([email protected]) This is but my suggestion as to how it's played, because it's hard to decipher a few parts of this song. This is really a tab for how they play it live, with a lot of help from the original album version. Key: C: Crash R: Ride H: High hat (x = closed; o = opened) T: Tom S: Snare drum FT: Floor tom B: Bass drum DT: Drumset tambourine For the 1st verse, i've tabbed how it's played live. If you want to get a sound like on the album, don't open the hats at all. And, in case you're wondering, it's a "German drum" in the background. If you wanna play something that sounds similar, just translate that rythym to the bass drum.
