Newsboys - Joy

Click here for a plain text version of this song (for better printing)

alright, i've seen many versions of this song on here.  i liked Nick's the best.
..but after seeing the newsboys in concert, i know they didn't use capos 
(although, they may have just been in a different key).  
i also haven't seen the intro done correctly.  not to say that my tab is perfect
 by any stretch, but it works with the music to a T, and is easy to play.  
Enjoy!  

Intro (Riff 1):

e----------------------------
b----------------------------
g----------------------------
d----------------------------
a-4-4------------------------
e-----4-5-4-5-4-7*-7-4-7-4-7/9
*second time, end here.  also play up to there for Riff 2 (played after chorus,
before verse 2).

Verse:

  C#m    A     B
e---------------------------
b---------------------------
g--6-----2-----4-4----------
d--6-----2-----4-4----------
a--4-----0-----2-2---2-2h4--
e-------------------4—4-----
figure out the rhythm..it’s not that hard.  Also, the 2 Bs are quick strums, 
then into the notes.  Make sure you play those so that you can transition back 
into the C#m easily.

Chorus:

  E   B   F#   C#m
e---------1-------
b-----0---1-----5--
g-9---4---2-----6--
d-9---4---3-----6--
a-7---2---3-----4--
e---------1-------

Bridge:

D# E B F#


Let me know how this works for you!!
Peace,
Chris
