A DIFFERENT SONG

E
 I've sung everything from hard times to heaven
       A                               E
To the cold winds that chilled my very soul

& I've sung everything from lonely nights in taverns
   F#                      B7
To dime store women on the troll
       E
& I've sung everything from sunshine to sadness
         A                             E
From the good life to the hells of Bob McVee

Now I sing a different song & tell a different story
                    B7                E
'Cause Jesus sang a different song to me


CHORUS:
& he said he'd meet me_______________
              (Meet me in the mornin')
In the mornin'
      (Meet me in the mornin')
       A                          E
In the sweet still shadows of his love (of his love)
He said he'd meet me_______________
            (Meet me in the mornin')
In the mornin'
      (Meet me in the mornin')
       A         B7              E
In the warm soft goodness of his love


Verse 2:
I've read it in the pages of Matthew, Mark & Proverbs
Daniel, Revelation, Timothy
& the wisdom I discovered from cover to cover
Was enough to scare the Devil out of me
The words all have reason
& they're never out of season
They're the sweetest written words you'll ever hear
Since I've been readin' Jesus
I read a different story
'Cause Jesus, he's been readin' me for years

(chorus x2)

Coda:
E      A         B7              E
In the warm soft goodness of his love
       A   B7          E
Of his love___, of his love
