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-|
