Song: Joy
Artist: Newsboys
Album: Shine - The Hits
I figured this song out partially from watching the Thrive Live DVD,
so I'm almost sure it's perfect.It's a very easy song. The rhythm can be a
little hard at first, though. I don't think anyone has tabbed it like this,
and the intro/riff is 100% right (I think!). Oh yeah, and in the tab,
your mayneed to strum one or two times more than I tabbed, it depends
on your strum.

| Purple Girl - 2004-05-02 | | YEAH!!! Go Nicky!!! You finally put in your first tab!!! :) |
| pekralna - 2005-01-03 | Great tab. You seem to have nailed the basic cords. I have just one correction. In the intro, it is Am instead of A. That's the way it sounds while playing with the song anyway. Here is the proper intro:
Intro/ Chorus: (open chords)
C, G, D, Am (x2)

| Only Alive - 2005-01-29 | Thanks for that, you're right, it is an Am. Good catch!

| Tyran001 - 2005-05-08 | | dude, i play this song and you nailed it! rock on!!! |
| JoeSD - 2006-02-04 | | This tab is AWESOME! |
| powerchordguy - 2006-03-02 | | fantastic. i would never of guess it would be that easy. thnx |
| doit4Jesus - 2006-07-03 | Wow! You've got the tab down.
However, in the intro and chorus, it is not an A or Am. It is an F.
I figure out the chords to songs on Piano before playing on the guitar, and it's definetly an F chord. Nothing corrolates with an A or Am chord.
Great job, man, and God Bless,
