capo on 1st freet, key of C#)
Thought I was falling into a d-e-e-p depression
Thinking all the mystery was all gone
Like I was falling into the deep of a grand canyon
From the side of a mountain I was hanging on
But now Iâm coming up for air
I see my angel on the sand
Sheâs running out to meet me
In the waves of the of the Rio Grande
And itâs joy, honey, pure joy ah ahah
Pure joy just to see you again
Thought my heart was in a r-u-t of recession
All the colors I had seen had faded into the black
Like I was falling fast to the bottom of the ocean
And just my luck my hands were all chained up behind my back
But now Iâm coming up for air
I see my angel on the sand
Sheâs running out to meet me
To save me again
And itâs joy, honey, pure joy
Pure joy just to see you again
And itâs joy, honey, pure joy
To see the sun coming down through the mist
Yeah itâs joy, honey, pure joy
To feel the medicine of oxygen fill up my lungs again
(break)
And itâs joy, honey, pure joy
To feel the strength of your kiss against my lips
Yeah itâs joy, honey pure joy
Ainât no other way to say what this feeling is
Pure joy
Pure joy
Pure joy
