Author/Artist: Jars of Clay
Title: Overjoyed
Album: Much Afraid
Transcribed by: Brian Germer

This is in standard tuning with a 12-String and an electric.  I saw them live 
in Portland, so this is pretty accurate.  

12-String intro:

(w/intro)
You name me
Who am I
That I should company with something so divine?
Mercy waits, Overjoyed
Prospect of finding, freeing
F  G     A
Freeing me

Chorus:
(A)         Cadd9      G         A
Love is the thing this time I'm sure
                F        G        A 
And I couldn't need you more now
                 Cadd9      G        F 
The way that you saw things were so pure
G   E7/G#** (see in tab) 
Overjoyed

(Same as first verse)
You name me
Entertain
Thoughts of peace can overcome anything
Mirror spins
Wicked tales
Here lies reflections of
Deceptions of

[Chorus] 

F#m/C#                      Bm 
Missing the me from you you gave to me
F#m/C#                         Bm
I don't like the one I have created today
Em7                        G
Crossing nameless from the one I've earned
   F#m/C# Bm       G
To be the one, the one you gave to me

Solo (over Chorus)

(w/12- String intro)
You name me
Name Me
Finding, freeing me

[Chorus x 2]
F   G      F   E7/G#  
Overjoyed, Overjoyed
