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
        F     
But now I’m coming up for air
      Em 
I see my angel on the sand
F    
She’s running out to meet me
G7 
In the waves of the of the Rio Grande

C 
And it’s joy, honey, pure joy ah ahah
C
Pure joy just to see you again

 
C                          
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
        F
But now I’m coming  up for air
       Em
I see my angel on the sand
F
She’s running out to meet me
G7
To save me again

C
And it’s joy, honey, pure joy
C
Pure joy just to see you again


F                                 Em    
And it’s joy, honey, pure joy
F                                                       G7 E7   
To see the sun coming down through the mist
F                                  Em   
Yeah it’s joy, honey, pure joy
 
F                                            G7               C
To feel the medicine of oxygen fill up my lungs again
 
(break)

C               F                 Em
And it’s joy, honey, pure joy
F                                          G7
To feel the strength of your kiss against my lips

F                              Em 
Yeah  it’s joy, honey pure joy
F                                  G7
Ain’t no other way to say what this feeling is

F
Pure joy
G
Pure joy
