"Try To Be Joyful" written by Tuli Kupferberg, as performed by Jeffery Lewis & The Deposit Returners I got these chords from Steve Espinola, the pianist on this record, so I know they're correct. The only place I changed any chords is the last line, the final repitition of Try To Be Joyful, I believe the chord for that line is just a held F, but I play the chords shown, it gives a nice ending if playing acoustically. Please rate fairly, and if there are any variations or licks you like to use while playing, please let me know and I'll add them to the bottom of the chords! If you want any other songs from that album, please let me know, and I'll chat to steve and get the chords! The original is in C, no capo. Now, without further ado, lets get onto this wonderful song!
