Joy To The World A Christmas Prayer


Okay. I never thought I'd learn to play something by any artist that had anything to do with the name "jonas", but this has to be their only good song. It's amazing. I've simplified it some because this was originally written for piano, and some of the chord changes aren't necessary. Yes, they sound nice, but with how hard I found it, myself being maybe at a low intermediate level, they aren't really needed and don't change the way the song sounds much if at all. If you would like the chords for the "more advanced" version, email me and I'll send it to you when I get the chance. :] P.S. I know these chords are accurate because I have the sheet music.
