"Beautiful Day" is played at a tempo of 136 beats per minute in a 4/4 time signature. The song begins with a reverberant electric piano playing over a string synthesizer, presenting the chord progression of A – Bm7 – D – G – D9 – A. This progression continues throughout the verses and chorus, the changes not always being one to a bar. After the opening line, "The heart is a flower," the rhythm comes in, comprising repeated eighth notes. The verses are relatively calm until the chorus, the lead vocal singing in a restrained manner, contrasting with the background vocals.
After the second chorus, a bridge section begins at 1:55, playing the chord progression F♯m – G – D – A, increasing the excitement of the track. The bridge links into the middle eight with a section where the chorus repeats a modulated two-note phrase on the serious guitar, beginning at 2:08. After seven seconds, the rhythm breaks and the middle eight begins. The bass sings a G note beneath the Em chord, implying that no chord change occurs; the lyrics of this section are set in space above the Earth and describe the sights one witnesses, including China, the Grand Canyon, tuna fleets, and Bedouin fires. After the third chorus and the return of the bridge section, the song suddenly ends on a “low-key” note; Most of the vocals stop and the feedback of a male vocal signal moves back and forth between channels before fading out.
