Pure Joy

C       F        C               
We were talking about how all the
 G        C
 years go by
F          C              G      
People and places and the march 
  Am
of time
F    G   Am       F            
Only memories can take us back 
       G
there again


         F          C             
Like the day on the boat, beneath 
  G          C
a clear blue sky
     F          C                
When out of the sea they came to 
G        Am
jump and fly
C     G    Am        F         
Now I understand why my friend 
       G                C
said, "Dolphins make us cry"


CHORUS:
                F    C            
'Cause this was pure joy, the way 
     G           C
they laughed and played
Dm                                 
Skipping and a-dancing through the 
G
ocean waves
       F    C        E      Am
It was pure joy, for all to see
   F          G       F       G 
So why can't we, more often feel
             C
 that joy of living?


Continues after the ad
C           F        C          
And we were talking about, how 
      G         C
in the days gone by
F          C                  G 
We would believe that all our 
           Am
dreams could fly
F        G     Am        F     
But they fade away, like sunset
            G
 out of the sky


          F          C            
And I was there in a garden, where
     G        C
 the children play
F            C            G      
Hearing them singing on a 
  Am
summer's day
C       G   Am      F          
Made me realise how soon, we 
        G           C
lose that innocence inside


CHORUS:
                F    C            
'Cause this was pure joy, the way 
     G           C
they laughed and played
Dm                             G
Skipping and a-dancing on that sunny
 day
       F    C        E      Am
It was pure joy, for all to see
   F          G       F       G 
So why can't we, more often feel
             C
 that joy of living?


OUTRO:
F    C   G  C  F  G
Pure joy
F    C   E  Am
Pure joy
   F          G       Am      G 
So why can't we, more often feel
             C        F
 that joy of living?
      G      C       F
Sheer joy of living
     G      C
That joy of living
              F    C        G     
'Cause it was pure joy (the joy of 
 C
living)

Pure joy, that joy of living
