To play along with the CD Capo 1st Fret
 
[Verse 1]
E
Drinking in the morning sun
Aadd9/E
Blinking in the morning sun 
Badd11/E
Shaking off the heavy one 
Aadd9/E
Heavy like a loaded gun
 
E
What made me behave that way?
Aadd9/E
Using words I never say 
Aadd9/E
I can only think it must be love 
Aadd9/E
Oh, anyway 
Aadd9/E                       E
It's looking like a beautiful day 
 
E
Someone tell me how I feel 
Aadd9/E
It's silly wrong but vivid right 
Aadd9/E
Oh, kiss me like the final meal 
Aadd9/E                   Badd11/E
Yeah, kiss me like we die tonight 
 
[Chorus]
E
Cause holy cow I love your eyes 
Aadd9/E
And only now I see the light 
Aadd9/E
Yeah lying with you half-awake 
Aadd9/E
Oh, anyway 
Aadd9/E                       E
It's looking like a beautiful day 
 
[Verse 2]
E
When my face is chamois-creased 
Aadd9/E
If you think I'll wink, I did 
Badd11/E
Laugh politely at repeats 
Aadd9/E
Yeah, kiss me when my lips are thin 
 
[Chorus]
E
Cause holy cow I love your eyes 
Aadd9/E
And only now I see the light 
Aadd9/E
Yeah lying with me half-awake 
Aadd9/E
Stumbling over what to say
Aadd9/E
Oh, anyway 
Aadd9/E                       E
It's looking like a beautiful day 
 
[Outro]
E                       Aadd9/E
So throw those curtains wide 
    Aadd9/E                           E
One day like this a year would see me right
 
E                       Aadd9/E
So throw those curtains wide 
    Aadd9/E                           E
One day like this a year would see me right
 
E                       D6add9/E
So throw those curtains wide 
    Aadd9/E                           E
One day like this a year would see me right
 
E                       D6add9/E
So throw those curtains wide 
    Aadd9/E                           E
One day like this a year would see me right

for "throw those curtains....." the chords should be E,D,A,E

Pretty good. The slash chords should be the *other way round though: F, *Bb/F, *C/F Repeat for ages until... F, Eb, Bb

Good tab. ok when played on it's own. The E/B doesn't fit every time when playing along with the CD. I reckon a B7 fits better. ie X 2 1 2 0 1 see what you think. Cheers
