Joyful Girl chords by Ani Difranco

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
I do it for the joy it brings
             G+G    A minorAm
Because I'm a joyful girl
                 C majorC
Because the world owes me nothing
               G+G        A minorAm
And we owe each other the world
                     C majorC
I do it because it's the least I can do
               G+G             A minorAm
I do it because I learned it from you
          C majorC
I do it just because I want to
G+G              A minorAm
Because I want to

           C majorC
Everything I do is judged
                    G+G           A minorAm
And they mostly get it wrong, but oh well
                 C majorC
'Cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
                   G+G           A minorAm
And the woman who lives there can't tell
                  C majorC
The truth from the stuff that they say
                G+G     A minorAm
And she looks me in the eye
                            C majorC
And says would you prefer the easy way?
       G+G            A minorAm
No, well O.K. then, don't cry


[The part in between consists of Dm, C, Em, and G.]

              C majorC
And I wonder if everything I do
 G+G  A minorAm
I do instead
             C majorC
Of something I want to do more
    G+G              A minorAm
The question fills my head
                    C majorC
I know that there's no grand plan here
              G+G     A minorAm
This is just the way it goes
                    C majorC
And when everything else seems unclear
          G+G    A minorAm
I guess at least I know
