BEAUTY AND THE MESS
by Nickel Creek (written by Chris Thile and Luke Bulla)
charted by Bo Frazer BoFrazer at cfl.rr.com> 
with help from Bug
notes: 
for D3, wrap your thumb around and hit fret#2, string 6 as bass note
----------------------------------------------------------

Intro (hook): 
F Em Am C  F Em Am C
F Em Am C  F Em Am -

Verse1:
Am   Em          Am         Em  Dm
Blue Water, Blue eyes color me.
   Am             Em             Am       Em   Am
If any could come this close I'd let them see.

Get it out again, play em one more song.
It's all they really want and who's to say that's wrong.

(Chorus 1)
      Dm        Em       F       G
Ain't that what you want them to know?
Em              Am               G              D3  F
All they get of you is what they get out of the show.
    E              F                 Dm          E    
The rest is mine I guess, the beauty and the mess, to hide.
F(hook 1x)    

Verse:
I pull my self under and down I go again.
It's just a little bit harder letting them in.
Looking at the world through illusive eyes.
I hide in the spotlight, it's a great disguise.

(Chorus 2)
Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they, all they get of you is what they get out of the show.
The rest is mine I guess, the beauty and the mess, to hide.

Am
(Bridge, use hook chords)
F              Em                 Am     C
Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing.
    F            Em                  Am
But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away.

Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing.
But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away.
Behind the melody the words don't mean a thing.
But every tone I play would give whatever I've not said away.

(Chorus 3)
Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they, all they get of you is all they get of you is what they get out of the show.
The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess.
Ain't that what you want them to know?
All they get of you is what they get out of the show.
The rest is mine I guess the beauty and the mess,
The rest, the rest is mine I guess,
The beauty and the mess,
The rest, the rest is mine I guess,
I guess the beauty and the mess, To hide.

The little thing in the middle goes A G#m G F#m F and then a little scale thingy on Em

How do you play D3?? Is it just playing D and wrapping your thumb
around, or is the thumbwrap an addition to D3? Does D3 equal D/F#??

FYI for anyone who's interested. Chris wrote
this song with a guy names Luke Bulla who's
with a great band called WiseChild. If ya
like NC, you'll dig WC. Their first cd is
out & it's called Firstborn. Can be hard to
find. They do a version of Beauty & the
Mess - very nice to hear sung by a guy.
Great musicianship. Moochie sez check it out!

That D3 / F played over "get out of the Show" doesn't sound right. Any other variations found?
