Pure Joy

Written by Chris de Burgh

Capo on 4th fret
	  		

  
  
C       F        C                G        C 
We were talking about how all the years go by 
F          C              G        Am 
People and places and the march of time 
F    G   Am       F                   G 
Only memories can take us back there again 
  
  
         F          C               G          C 
Like the day on the boat, beneath a clear blue sky 
     F          C                G        Am 
When out of the sea they came to jump and fly 
C     G    Am        F                G                C 
Now I understand why my friend said, "Dolphins make us cry" 
  
  
Chorus: 
                F    C                 G           C 
'Cause this was pure joy, the way they laughed and played 
Dm                                 G 
Skipping and a-dancing through the ocean waves 
       F    C        E      Am 
It was pure joy, for all to see 
   F          G       F       G              C 
So why can't we, more often feel that joy of living? 
  
  
C           F        C                G         C 
And we were talking about, how in the days gone by 
F          C                  G            Am 
We would believe that all our dreams could fly 
F        G     Am        F                 G 
But they fade away, like sunset out of the sky 
  
  
          F          C                 G        C 
And I was there in a garden, where the children play 
F            C            G        Am 
Hearing them singing on a summer's day 
C       G   Am      F                  G           C 
Made me realise how soon, we lose that innocence inside 
  
  
Chorus: 
                F    C                 G           C 
'Cause this was pure joy, the way 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              C 
So why can't we, more often feel that joy of living? 
  
  
OUTRO: 
F    C   G  C  F  G 
Pure joy 
F    C   E  Am   
Pure joy 
   F          G       Am      G              C        F 
So why can't we, more often feel that joy of living? 
      G      C       F 
Sheer joy of living 
     G      C 
That joy of living 
              F    C        G      C 
'Cause it was pure joy (the joy of living) 
F    C        G      C 
Pure joy (the joy of living) 
       F    C        G      C 
It was pure joy (the joy of living) 
F    C         G      C 
Pure joy, that joy of living
