BEAUTIFUL By Belle & Sebastian

>From the EP '3... 6... 9... Seconds of Light' Submitted by Thelonius

Intro

She lay in bed all night watching the colors change

She lay in bed all night watching the morning change

She lay in bed all night watching the morning change into green and gold

The doctor told her years ago that she was ill

The doctor told her years ago to take a pill

The doctor told her years ago that she'd go blind if she wasn't careful

They let Lisa go blind

The world was at her feet and she was looking down

They let Lisa go blind

But everyone she knew thought she was beautiful

Only slightly mental

Beautiful

Only tempermental

Beautiful

She thought it would be fun to try photograghy

She thought it would be fun to try pornography

She thought it would be fun to try most anything

She was tired of sleeping

They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind

They let Lisa go blind

She's looking like a queen

But if you knew what's going on in her life

There'd be a thousand barren mothers there to talk to her

If you knew what's going on in her life

There'd be two hundred troubled teenagers to sit with her

And talk to her

If you knew what's going on in her life

What's going on in her life

There would be a documentary on Radio 4

(Trumpet solo spot...)

She made herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes

She thought is was the answer to the fashion blues

She made herself a pair of orthopaedic shoes

But she walked with a limp

They let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind, let Lisa go blind...

C#m7 B A G# repeats to the end

(for the little tidbit at the very end, just repeat the 1st chorus)
