These are the chords to Belle, the version that Darren Criss played.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DZVOR4K93k) I tabbed some of the harder chords. Tbh, I
have no idea if
those chords names are right, but just look at the tab and play that :P Please let me
know if I made any mistakes, and I hope this is somewhat useful.

The tuning is a half step down-ish. I’m not really sure if he meant for it to be lower,
or if his guitar is just out of tune.
 
Belle – Darren Criss
       Asus4  Bsus47
Little town
             Emaj7
It's a quiet village
      Asus4  Bsus47
Ev'ry day
               Emaj7  E
Like the one before
       G#m  G#m+maj7
Little town
         G#m6   C#7
Full of little people
        F#m7 B7#5
Waking up to say:
        E
Bonjour!
 
E
There goes the baker with his tray, like always
C#m               A                   E
     The same old bread and rolls to sell
       G      A        D
Ev'ry morning just the same
          F        G         C
Since the morning that we came
         Am7    Am7/E     C
To this poor provincial town
      Dsus2sus4 E
Good Morning, Belle!
 
E                                                E/D#
Look there she goes that girl is strange, no question
C#m               A                  E
    Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
       G       A       D
Never part of any crowd
            F        G         C
'Cause her head's up on some cloud
      Am7   Am/E     C    Dsus2sus4 E
No denying she's a funny girl that Belle
 
Amaj7
Bonjour! Good day!
            Emaj7
How is your fam'ly?
Amaj7
Bonjour! Good day!
            Emaj7
How is your wife?
Gmaj7
      I need six eggs!
       G
That's too expensive!
      Em7      F#7       A       B       E
There must be more than this provincial life!
 
 
E                                          E/D#
Look there she goes that girl is so peculiar
C#m          A                 E
    I wonder if she's feeling well
         G       A       D
With a dreamy, far-off look
        F      G         C
And her nose stuck in a book
        Am7   Am/E   C      Dsus2sus4 E
What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle
 
A A/G#   F#m   B7       E
Ooooooh, isn't this amazing?
C#7                  F#m     B               E C#7
    It's my fav'rite part because --- you'll see
A A/G#  F#m      B7            Emaj7    C#7
Here's where she meets Prince Charming
                 F#m            (B)*  A             G    E
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!
 
 
E                                            E/D#
Now it's no wonder that her name means "Beauty"
C#m                  A           E
     Her looks have got no parallel
       G         A     D **
But behind that fair facade
      F           G      C
I'm afraid she's rather odd
      Am7      Am/E      C      Dsus2sus4
Very diff'rent from the rest of us
      Am7      Am/E     C      Dsus2sus4
She's nothing like the rest of us
      Am7            C          Dsus2sus4 E   Eb D
Yes, diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle!
 
D                            D        D/C#
Right from the moment when I met her, saw her
Bm               G              D
   I said she's gorgeous and I fell
         F          G      C
Here in town there's only she
       Eb    F      Bb
Who is beautiful as me
       D       E       F        E     D***
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle
 
Gmaj7
Look there he goes
         Dmaj7
Isn't he dreamy?
Gmaj7
Monsieur Gaston
           Dmaj7
Oh he's so cute!
Fmaj7
Be still my heart
            F
I'm barely breathing
     Dm7    E7           G7        A7        E
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute!
 
      Em      F#7                A7      B
There must be more than this provincial life!
                                        C#
Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife!
 
F#                                                F#/F
Look there she goes, the girl is strange but special
Ebm           B              F#
     A most peculiar mad'moiselle!
       A     B    E
It's a pity and a sin
     G       A        D
She doesn't quite fit in
            Bm     C#m            D
'Cause she really isn’t like the rest of us
       Bm     C#m       D      E
She’s nothing like the rest of us
        Bm     D           E
She’s a beauty but a funny girl
      F# Bsus4 F#
That Belle!
Bsus4 F#
That Belle!
 
 
*He plays a B here in the recording, but I don’t know if he meant to. It’s also possible
that it was a mistake.
**This is were he started playing the wrong chords in the recording. I just put the
right ones in here.
***He only plays the lower three strings from these chords.

@MeaghanMcCormak I agree, that does make it sound more like the original but Darren plays an E there and switches between an E and a B as the lowest note, so it sort of sounds like that. Thanks for your comment!

A couple of things. First up thanks for the great tab, please pat yourself on the back. You maybe should have mentioned that excetpting the bit at the end of the verse (is it a verse?) and the start it is all barred cords, seems obvious but I spent a day playing almost the whole thing open. Also for the major barred chords starting on the A string he mutes the G string instead of playing it normally. What a song, thanks again.

Omg, these are amazing, the only thing I'd add would be a little detail: E [B7 E B E B] There goes the baker with his tray like always C#m A E The same old bread and rolls to sell. those chords make it more sound like the original, though I can't recall if Darren does that too or not. They're awesome, anyway. Thanks A LOT.
