BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE Australian Crawl
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Transcribed by Craig D.


I saw a request for this song, and hey why not it's a great party tune!

This was the "Crawl's" first single in approx. August 1979.

This song appeared on the first album "The Boys Light Up", and also on:

Crawl File (greatest hits);
The Final Wave (live last concert);
More Wharf (greatest hits).

I have quickly Tabbed out an approximation for the two main parts below.
Listen to the CD to get the timing, it is pretty straight forward.
The remainder of the song consists of the pattern below, once again listen
to the CD to get the feel of this.

|A / / / |Bm / / / |G / / / |D / / / |

Didn't have a guitar with me when I put the chord symbols over the words.
You may need to make some slight adjustments to these positions.

The intro riff can also be played up around the nineth fret if you like.

Hi Greg,

I've just finished the Amazing 7 day guitar course.
I have really enjoyed seeing my playing improve
in just 7 days. I love the exercises that incorporate
learning the scales as that has always been a
real challenge for me.

I have felt stuck in my playing for a while now but
after completing your course I am more
confident, and more flexible!

the style of teaching is very simple yet extremely
effective way of teaching,
and I'm enjoying all the extras I received.
