This was posted three years ago..but dang it's the best cover I've seen.. The instrumentals is beautiful and you sing with so much power.
Thank you! Such a wonderful compliment!
One of my mom’s favorite songs. She passed a while ago. Videos like this keep her alive. Thank you.
Very touching comment. I'm glad that her memory lives on in music. My condolences to you.

Check it out, if you have a chance.
@kaifing Thank you, always good to get feedback.
I tuned down the top 2 strings a whole step.... so the tuning was E. A. D. G . a. d.
While not entirely true to the original, it just sounded better than playing with standard tuning (for a solo performance).
Top lad! Giving this a go 👍superb cover
Love this
Keep comin back to this, so so good!!! Thanks for sharing it. Amazing 👏👏
Hi Bob. Thanks for the kind words!
Still uploading pretty much every week over at czcams.com/users/pentasonicband
This is just freakin great!!!!! I love this, and the way you played the song. I was able to learn how to play this, just by watching!
Thanks a lot! Really glad you enjoyed it!
I don't use tabs, but the tuning is mentioned in the comments here.
The only chords in the song are A/Bm/D/G/ also F#m/Em.... hope that helps!
This is lovely man
I play so much Dave Matthews Band and was so happy to see the same chord structure in this song. Great cover!
Sean Smith thanks man! Got take the inspiration from wherever you can to make it work! Love a bit of DMB~~
Also The World I Know by Collective Soul
This is a good performance. Glad I watched.
Wow stand up job for a sit down performance... Like the interpretation and how you tuned down B and E... Think I'll mess with that myself since I do this song quite regularly myself... Once again great performance!
Great skills.
holy, you sing amazing.
Best Cover i ever heard!

@Renownify Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@BrokenLevee50 Thanks mate. That's a helluva compliment! Much appreciated!
The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace
It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination
You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day (Oooh, ooh)
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me love
I know I'm not a hopeless case
See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out
Day, Day
Day, Day
It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day
Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case
What you don't have, you don't need it now
What you don't know, you can feel it somehow
What you don't have, you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
Did I get any of the lyrics wrong? 🤔 😜

This is the best acoustic cover of this for me. I had a go at it a year ago, but couldn't quite nail a couple of the chords.
Thanks Jonathan. Stick with it. It's really satisfying when you nail down the chords!

Wow waiting for tabs/tutorial
Hey buddy do you still have the cords for this, looking to play this for my dad
Great cover of a beautiful song bro! Always wanted to learn this song, but always seemed too difficult to get the same feel on just a guitar. Are you in an open tunning (DADGAD or soemething?) or just regular?
hey there. thanks for the kind words. Guitar Tuning is in the description.... EADGad ;)
+Ben Akers sure and thanks good stuff. Note to self: never hurts to read ;-)
+Leodopetunes never tried EADGAD excited,
@gyodae I do play live around Seoul. Follow @musicgravy on Twitter.com for details
