Ani DiFranco Joyful Girl Lyrics

These are the chords for the version she plays at the Bronco Bowl Theatre in
Texas, 1999. When you play the C chord, put your pinky finger on the first string,
third fret. Watch the video to get the timing. It sounds like it's in a tad
different key in the beginning; If anyone would like to correct me, please do.
I do it for the joy it brings
Because I'm a joyful girl
Because the world owes me nothing
And we owe each other the world
I do it because it's the least I can do
I do it because I learned it from you
I do it just because I want to
Because I want to
Everything I do is judged
And they mostly get it wrong, but oh well
'Cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
And the woman who lives there can't tell
The truth from the stuff that they say
And she looks me in the eye
And says would you prefer the easy way?
No, well O.K. then, don't cry
(The part in between consists of Dm, C, Em, and G.)
And I wonder if everything I do
I do instead
Of something I want to do more
The question fills my head
I know that there's no grand plan here
This is just the way it goes
And when everything else seems unclear
I guess at least I know
