Always Bass Tab
---------------
U2 --> B side of BD single
--------------------------

-------------------------------
here is the cool oponing riff of this earlier version of BEAUTIFUL DAY
normal tuning
g|----------------------------------------|
d|----------------------------------------|
a|----17---17---17---17-17-15----15-17----|
e|----------------------------17----------|
you also can play it at 5th fret, but it sound better at 17th
the riff appers again in the middle of the song after chorus #1
for the verse part it's almost the same as in 'with or without you' but faster:
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|-----------------|
e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|-----------------|-----------------|
e|-----------------|-----------------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
for the chorus part it's the same as in BD:
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-------------5-5-|-5---------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-----|-----------------|
e|-5-5-5-7-7-7-----|-----------------|-------------5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
for the interlude it's hard to hear what's the rhytym, i think it can be like this:
g|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------| Repeat
d|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
a|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-|
2x
e|-----------------|-----------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
e|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|
g|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-----------------|-----------------|
e|-----------------|-----------------|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
and then again with the chorus (note that the end of the interlude it's the same chord
structure
as the end of the interlude of BD, another clue to think 'always' a earlier version of BD)
for the last ending:
g|-----------------|-----------------|
d|-----------------|-----------------|
a|-5-5-5-5-5-5-----|-----------------|
e|-------------5-5-|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

| If you look at the Beautiful Day (Version 2) video, you'll see clips for the recording session of ATYCLB. One clip shows a whiteboard with song titles, including Beautiful Day (Always). | |

| I just love this song! I think it's about the duality in everyone: "To be the bee and the flower" and "Be the arrow and the target". It's an advice for everyone to analyse themselves and not to be ashamed of who they are: "Be uncool, yes, be awkward" and "Don't find yourself in someone else". My favorite part is: "Turn each song into a prayer ". It happens sometime to love a song so much and listen to it over and over again because it makes you fell better, it gives you the strength you need, it helps you just like a prayer does. It's amazing! | |

| The line "The soul needs beauty for a soul mate" was used in the song "A Man and a Woman" on How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. | |
