Verse 1 chords: [chords may be played similar to intro riff]
F Bb
I go to the parties, throw my hands in the air
F Bb
I drink what they pour me, the cups of who cares
F Bb
Go up in the night sky, up in the clouds
F Bb
Fly over the houses, I'm looking down
Chorus 1 chords:
F Bb
Joy to the city, joy to the streets
F Bb
And joy to you baby, wherever you sleep
F Bb
Tonight, tonight, tonight
F Bb
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Interlude: [play intro riff x2]
Verse 2: [use verse 1 chords]
There's no ghosts in the graveyard, that's not where they live
They float in between us,'what is' and 'what if'
And cast our own shadows, before our own eyes
You don't get them up here though, they don't come up high
Chorus 2: [use chorus 1 chords]
Joy to the city, the parking lot lights
The lion of evening, with the rain in its eyes
Joy to the freeway, joy to the cars
And joy to you baby, wherever you are
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Interlude: [play intro riff x4]
Verse 3: [use verse 1 chords]
There's pain in whatever, we stumble upon
If I never had met you, you couldn't have gone
But then I couldn't have met you, we couldn't have been
I guess it all adds up, to joy to the end
Chorus 3: [use chorus 1 chords]
Joy to the city, the heatwave and all
To the lion of evening, with the storm in its paw
Joy to the many, and joy to the few
And joy to you baby, joy to me too
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight
