Lyrics

The heart is a bloom,

shoots (D)up through (D)the sto (A)ny ground.

But there’s no room,

no space to (D)rent in (A)this town.

You’re out of luck,

and the (D)rea son that (D)you had (A)to care, the traf fic is stuck

and you’re not (D)mov in’ (D)a ny (A)where.

You though you’d found a (E7sus4)friend

to take you (D)out of this (A)place.

Some one you (E7sus4)could lend a (G)hand in re (D)turn for (A)grace.

It’s a beau ti ful day.

The sky falls.

(A)And you feel like it’s a beau ti ful day.

Don’t (D)let it get a (A)way You’re on the road

and the (D)rea son that (D)you had (A)to care, the traf fic is stuck

and you’re not (D)mov in’ (D)a ny (A)where.

You though you’d found a (E7sus4)friend

to take you (D)out of this (A)place.

Some one you (E7sus4)could lend a (G)hand in re (D)turn for (A)grace.

It’s a beau ti ful day.

The sky falls.

(A)And you feel like it’s a beau ti ful day.

Don’t (D)let it get a (A)way You’re on the road

(F#m)Touch (Gsus2)me,

(D5)take me (Dsus2)to that (A)oth er place.

(F#m)Teach me,

I (D5)know I’m (Dsus2)not a (A)hope less case.

See the world in green and blue.

See Chi na right in front of you.

See the can yons (G)brok en by cloud.

See the tu na fleets clear ing the sea out.

See the Bed ouin (G)fires at night.

See the oil fields at first light

see the bird with a (G)leaf in her mouth.

Af ter the flood all the (Asus4)col ours came out.

(A)ad

It was a beau ti ful case.

What you (A6)don’t (B7sus2)have you (D)don’t need (Gmaj7)it now.

What you (D)don’t know you can feel it some how.

What you (A6)don’t (B7sus2)have you don’t need (Gmaj7)it now.

You don’t (D)need it now.

It’s a beau ti ful day.

About “Beautiful Day

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Beautiful Day" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key A, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Beautiful Day" by U2 in?
The backing track is in A at 134 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Beautiful Day" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Beautiful Day"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Beautiful Day", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Beautiful Day" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Beautiful Day"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Beautiful Day"?
"Beautiful Day" was originally performed by U2. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by U2 are available?
Other accompaniments by U2: "All I Want Is You", "Invisible", "October". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of A, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Beautiful Day" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
