Okay. I never thought I'd learn to play something by any artist that had
anything to do with the name "jonas", but this has to be their only good
song. It's amazing. I've simplified it some because this was originally
written for piano, and some of the chord changes aren't necessary. Yes,
they sound nice, but with how hard I found it, myself being maybe at a low
intermediate level, they aren't really needed and don't change the way the
song sounds much if at all. If you would like the chords for the "more
advanced" version, email me and I'll send it to you when I get the
chance. :]
P.S. I know these chords are accurate because I have the sheet music.
EADGBe, Capo 1st fret
Intro: C(add2), F(add2) [4 beats per chord]
Every year at Christmas, all I can see
Are pictures of the things I want around the tree
But this year's a little different
I'm not thinking of myself
So my prayer for this Christmas
Is for somebody else
So I pray
Joy To the World
Peace for every boy and girl
God I know you're listening and you can hear
The need of every broken heart and all their tears
I don't have a lot to offer
Just this one simple prayer
That this Christmas everyone would know
Somebody cares...
So I pray
Joy to the world
Peace for every boy and girl
Hope when life is hard
Light when everything seems dark
I pray that every hungry soul
Will be fed and will be warm
That not a single solitary child
Would suffer harm
And wars would find their ending
As we take another view
My hope is that this Christmas prayer
F Gsus4 G [Gsus4, G: 1 beat per chord]
Would somehow come tru--e
I pray
Humanity would rise
And join with me
And togeth-er we'll sing
Woah, woah
Joy [To the World] To all the world
Peace for every boy and girl
Talking ‘bout hope when life is hard
Light when everything seems dark
I pray that every hungry soul
Will be fed and will be warm
That not a single solitary child
Would suffer harm
And Lord, we find their ending
As we take another view
So now my hope is that this Christmas prayer
Would somehow come true
Joy To the World
Peace for every boy and girl
