Overjoyed - Stevie Wonder
*Check out the split chords, the first given are harder to play, but
sound good when you slide them to the next chord, but it's ok to play them the other way
*Try hitting the bass string first with each chord, makes the sound fuller
*notes in parentheses are optional

Verse 1
[Bb/Eb] [Eb] [Cm7] [Fm7] [Bb7]
Over time I've been building my castle of love
[Bb/Eb] [Eb] [Cm7] [F/A] [G/B]
Just for two, though you never knew you were my rea-son
[C] [G/B]
I've gone much too far for you now to say
[Cm7] [F] [Bb] [Bb7]
That I've got to throw my castle away
Verse 2
[Bb/Eb] [Eb] [Cm7] [Fm7] [Bb7]
Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
[Bb/Eb] [Eb] [Cm7] [F/A] [G/B]
Though you ne- ver knew it was of you I've been dreaming
[C] [G/B]
The sandman has come from too far away
[Cm7] [F] [Bb] [Bb7]
For you to say come back some other day
Chorus
[Abmaj7]
And though you don't believe that they do
[Eb/G]
They do come true
[Fm7] [Bb]
For did my dreams
[Db] [C]
Come true when I looked at you
[Bbmaj7]
And maybe too, if you would believe
[F/A] [Fm/Ab]
You too might be
[Fm7] [Bb7sus4] [Bb7]
Overjoyed, overloved, over me

Verse 3
[Bb/Eb] [Eb] [Cm7] [Fm7] [Bb7]
Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
[Bb/Eb] [Eb] [Cm7] [F/A] [G/B]
Just to find, I had found what I've searched to disco- ver
[C] [G/B]
I've come much too far for me now to find
[Cm7] [F] [Bb] [Bb7]
The love that I've sought can never be mine
Chorus
[Abmaj7]
And though you don't believe that they do
[Eb/G]
They do come true
[Fm7] [Bb]
For did my dreams
[Db] [C]
Come true when I looked at you
[Bbmaj7]
And maybe too, if you would believe
[F/A] [Fm/Ab]
You too might be
[Fm7] [Bb7sus4] [Bb7] [Csus4] [C7]
Overjoyed, over loved, over me
Chorus
[Bbmaj7]
And though the odds say improbable
[F/A]
What do they know
[Gm7] [C]
For in romance
[Eb] [D]
All true love needs is a chance
[Cmaj7]
And maybe with a chance you will find
[G/B] [Gm/Bb]
You too like I
[Gm7] [C7sus4] [C7] [ [F] ]
Overjoyed, over loved, over you
