[Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] When I was younger, [F] the hunger came calling, [Bb] and humbly I answered, [F] each rising and falling,
[Bb] I will not surrender [F] at this wiser [Dm] and tender [Bb] age.
I turned [C] the page, _ and I sing [F] for joy, for [Bb] the smile that [F] it brings from [Dm] the heart.
Through [C] these guitar strings, it was [F] only noise, until [Bb] her love put [F] a song in [Dm] the soul [C] of this good [Bb] old boy.
I sing [F] for joy, [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] when I was lonely, [F] my angel found me, [Bb] she sweetly and gently [F] wrapped her arms around me,
[Bb] and the demons that chased me, [F] gave up [Dm] and faded [Bb] away.
Now I [C] can say, _ I sing [F] for joy, for [Bb] the smile that [F] it brings from [Dm] the heart.
Through [C] these guitar strings, it was [F] only noise, until [Bb] her love put [F] a song in [Dm] the soul of [C] this good [Bb] old boy.
I sing [F] for joy, _ _

[F] _ _ _ [Bb] who could come nearer, [F] to make it life clearer, [Bb] the time we're together, [F] grows dearer and dearer,
[Bb] when I must travel, [F] and I have [Dm] to leave her [Bb] alone, she's [C] in my song.
And I sing [F] for joy, for [Bb] the smile that [F] it brings from [Dm] the heart.
Through [C] these guitar strings, it was [F] only noise, until [Bb] her love put [F] a song in [Dm] the soul of [C] this good old [Bb] boy.
I sing [F] for joy, for her [Bb] love put a song in [Dm] the soul of [C] this good [Bb] old boy.
I sing [F] for joy.
