           A(nc)                 A                       D  Bm  
              Hey Joyce, rock and roll never gave you a voice
It's never Egiven you so much as a laAment
So I Fwent to the store and I Bbbought a guitar
To beEstow this accolade on Ayou, just A7you
Not DSally, Carrie Ann or Peggy ESue
I'm gonna Aspend my next half Fday with a E7girl called AJoyce;
Gonna Fpossibly stop at TeE7bay with a girl called Ajoyce.D  A  E  A  
Hey AJoyce, I know you're Dnot as far out as Ronnie BmBoyce
And I'm aEware that you've got a few Aquirks
But it Fhurts when I hear all the Bbsongs to Maria
Well, we Ehaven't really done with AJ or A7K
DMuch to my disEmay
When the Abad gets worse I Fturn to a E7girl called AJoyce;
                        F                        E7           A   D   A   E   A(x2)
Gonna lose myself in the thrall of a girl called Joyce.
Slower Aball........ Paris DFashion Week caught me off Bmguard
I was Ebusy with trellising the Ayard
In a Fspringless cart on a Bbsunless day
As the Elaudanum shortage Adawns, two A7fauns
DLead me through the Eglade
Where the Agods have dumped DiFana for a E7girl called AJoyce;
And disFplayed on high is a E7banner in support of AJoyce.
And the Fbrook runs crystal Eclear
And the Abrook runs crystal Eclear
And the Fbrook runs crystal Eclear
(nc)                         A     A   E  A7  
And the wind cries Joyce.
