Joy
Phish
Transcribed by Mike from Ohio

D
Joy is over there in her incredible clothes
        G
She has silver silk shimmering down to her toes
      D
I was doing the best that I can I suppose
         G
But that little girl dancer eventually grows
         E
Well she grows

G  A

D
You can’t imagine all the times that I’ve tried
     G
To uncover the source of the tears that you cried
      D
Let’s throw it away and just go for a ride
        G
And you'd say okay but you'd keep it inside
      E
And I tried

 G
I tried
  E
I tried
 G A
I tried

CHORUS:
G                 D
We want you to be happy
      A               G
Don’t live inside the gloom
                  D
We want you to be happy
     A                 G
Come step outside your room
                  F#m
We want you to be happy
                       A
Cause this is your song too


D
I never thought I could have it so good
G
You were the song that my soul understood
    D
But time is a river that flows through the woods
       G
And it led us to places we both understood

        E
Would be gone
         G
Before too long
        E
Would be gone
         G A
Before too long


D
When we were young we thought life was a game
         G
But then somebody leaves you and you’re never the same
D
All of the places that people belong
       G
To the puzzle but one of the pieces is gone
         E
And it’s you
 G
It’s you
     E
It’s you
     G A
Joy it’s you


G                 D
We want you to be happy
      A               G
Don’t live inside the gloom
                  D
We want you to be happy
     A                 G
Come step outside your room
                  F#m
We want you to be happy
                       A
Cause this is your song too

Em            C            G
In time we’ll weather this storm
