CFCGC
We were talking about how all the years go by
FCGAm
People and places and the march of time
FGAmFG
Only memories can take us back there again
FCGC
Like the day on the boat, beneath a clear blue sky
FCGAm
When out of the sea they came to jump and fly
CGAmFGC
Now I understand why my friend said, "Dolphins make us cry"
Chorus:
FCGC
'Cause this was pure joy, the way they laughed and played
DmG
Skipping and a-dancing through the ocean waves
FCEAm
It was pure joy, for all to see
FGFGC
So why can't we, more often feel that joy of living?
CFCGC
And we were talking about, how in the days gone by
FCGAm
We would believe that all our dreams could fly
FGAmFG
But they fade away, like sunset out of the sky
FCGC
And I was there in a garden, where the children play
FCGAm
Hearing them singing on a summer's day
CGAmFGC
Made me realise how soon, we lose that innocence inside
Chorus:
FCGC
'Cause this was pure joy, the way they laughed and played
DmG
Skipping and a-dancing on that sunny day
FCEAm
It was pure joy, for all to see
FGFGC
So why can't we, more often feel that joy of living?
Outro:
FCGCFG
Pure joy
FCEAm
Pure joy
FGAmGCF
So why can't we, more often feel that joy of living?
GCF
Sheer joy of living
GC
That joy of living
FCGC
'Cause it was pure joy (the joy of living)
FCGC
Pure joy (the joy of living)
FCGC
It was pure joy (the joy of living)
FCGC
Pure joy, that joy of living
