Intro [G/f#]

[G/f#]

Verse

If beauty is an ecstacy And anger keeps you poor

A hungry man is never free A rich man never cured

Things were never what they used to be

For all the folks who can run the world, drive cabs or cut your hair

Chorus

[G/f#]

The sun may set without your help but you're beautiful people to me

[G/f#]

You may fall before you're pushed but it's beautiful people I see

[G/f#]

If you only see the stars when it's dark that's enough for me

[G/f#]

An empty soul with a full opinion is beautiful people to me

Middle link

It’s all the same in different hats

The proof of the missing link

A nation talking to its self

And none of us can think

Things were never what they used to be

A silent fool may still be wise

But there’s no way you can tell

The captain more scarred than his crew

Is beautiful people to me

And the finest government you could buy

Its beautiful people I see

If you could give five to one against

It’s good enough for me

Can’t use two steps to cross a canyon

You’re beautiful people to me

If you don’t see the same trees I see

You’re beautiful people to me

Make deserts bloom and oceans die

Just beautiful people to me

If you’re lost and dying of civilisation

That’s enough for me

If you believe your own blind eye

You’re beautiful people to me

And you may miss what you never had

And have what you never want

I'm not too sure if the above is totally right. Any comments or suggestions would

be most welcome.
