Joyful Girl


These are the chords for the version she plays at the Bronco Bowl Theatre in Texas, 1999. When you play the C chord, put your pinky finger on the first string, third fret. Watch the video to get the timing. It sounds like it's in a tad different key in the beginning; If anyone would like to correct me, please do. C I do it for the joy it brings G Am Because I'm a joyful girl C Because the world owes me nothing G Am And we owe each other the world C I do it because it's the least I can do G Am I do it because I learned it from you C I do it just because I want to G Am Because I want to C Everything I do is judged G Am And they mostly get it wrong, but oh well C 'Cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged G Am And the woman who lives there can't tell C The truth from the stuff that they say G Am And she looks me in the eye C And says would you prefer the easy way? G Am No, well O.K. then, don't cry [The part in between consists of Dm, C, Em, and G.] C And I wonder if everything I do G Am I do instead C Of something I want to do more G Am The question fills my head C I know that there's no grand plan here G Am This is just the way it goes C And when everything else seems unclear G Am I guess at least I know
