Song: Beautiful Day (bass)
Band: Len
Album: You Can't Stop the Bum Rush
Tabbed by: Jeff Geady

Bass guitar, standard tuning

Intro: (fades in)                   Drums
G--------------------------------|-------------
D--------------------------------|-------------
A--------------------------------|-------------
E------------1---1---1---1-0-1---|-------------

Each horn blast is accompanied by an F note except the last which has
an E F like the intro. It's easy to hear.

Verse line:
G---------------------------------------------------
D--.-----------3----------------3h5p3----(3)-----.--
A--.-------3h5------x-------3h5--------------x---.--
E-----1---------------1-1---------------------------

This bass line is also used in the chorus too. When it enters and when
it exits is pretty obvious on the record since a lot of the song is just
bass and drums. The chorus has a guitar with wah effect but since I don't
have one of those, I can't tab it can I?

Here comes the fun part: lyrics
Who can't help but love Biz Markie...

Words:
------
Biz:
Yes indeed, yo Mumble C,
you know the voice and you know I'm the choice,
but right about now I'd like to bring you a funky funky group
go by the name of Len... L E N
and we gonna do it a little something like this, check it out
D Rock  ahHHHhhHH!

D Rock:
I got Mumbles on the beats; and me and Biz is rappin'
and when we get together we makes it happen,
and if you found my rhyme book please don't bend
cuz I can kill a man with the jab of my pen.
I'm not a violent man nor hang with violent men
Sometimes I like to chill and try to reach in.
I gotta give props to a writer named Wren
cuz he's been around since God knows when.

I think it's time for an introduction:
my name is D Rock from a crew called Len.
Been into hip hop since the age of ten,
and I leave 'em in shock when I begin.
That's why I don't front on my first impressions
and I only write rhymes from my circle of friends.
It's like that and that's the way it ends,
me and Biz Markie constantly set trends.

Chorus (Biz)
Oh what a beautiful day what a beautiful day what a beautiful day. (x2)

Biz:
Party people in the place I'd like to tell you a tale,
about a high-powered girl, her name is Gail.
She's a funky fresh girly, she ain't stale,
everytime I see her she make me hard as a nail.
I was chillin' at my house drinking Ginger Ale
watchin' Monty Python and the Holy Grail,
when I got a phone call it never fails
it came all the way from a college called Yale.
I said a-Hello pretty mama what up female?
Let's go on a cruise or go on a sail,
but first let me call up my man named Dale,
I called him, but he was in jail.
We both went down and paid his bail,
it came back three weeks in the mail.
But one thing I forgot this last retail, (did he mean detail?)
that the Biz Markie will always prevail

Chorus

D Rock gives his shout outs here, I ain't writing them all out.

The bass continues as usual and fades on a repeated F note like
the intro fades in.

Fun song and the bass line is even fun to play.
