Joy to the World chords
Watts wrote the words as a paraphrase of Psalm 98, and Mason's tune "Antioch" turned it into the familiar carol. Its descending first line is a scale, which makes it easy to sing along to.

How to play it
You need 3 chords: D, G and A. The change you'll make most is D to A, so practice switching between those two slowly before playing along.
Each box is one bar of 4/4 time. Strum the chord on the beat, and change when the next box starts. A slash means keep playing the same chord.
