Pure Joy chords by Chris De Burgh

Chris De Burgh - Pure Joy


CAPO: 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:

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
