SONG: DOWN TO JOY ARTIST: VAN MORRISON TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] NOTE: Van Morrison had done this song as far as I can tell at least 7 years or more ago. This version is from BELFAST and was released on January 1, 2022 according to the YouTube link I have linked: https://youtu.be/u6R_flCWidw Please keep that in mind when playing and rating this tab as I am not sure about how the past version sounds. They could be one and the same. INTRO: G D Em C G D C G D Em C G D G VERSE:
