Forest Rain - Great To Be Different Chords

Capo 3.


[Verse 1]

G                               C       G               
It was a dark day when I lost my faith 
G                                            D          
I wasn't the pony I thought I'd be 
G                                       C       G
And it seemed that no one could relate 
G                                       D
There was nothing left to see 

       C        G               D               Em
So I took a walk to the edge of the town 
C                                               D
And thought of leaving it all behind 
           C                    G                       D             Em
When I saw a little letter fall right out of the sky 
C                                                 D
As a grey mare hovered way up high 

G                                          C            G
I thought I was crazy when I saw her wave 
G                               D
And then simply fly away 
G                                       C               G
So I opened the letter and looked inside 
G                                               D
And what was written made my day... 


It said


[Chorus]

C       G               D       Em
Isn't it great to be different? 
C       G                         D
Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are? 
C              G                D               Em
When you learn to start accepting yourself 
C                                   D
You'll become a shining star 


[Verse 2]

G                                       C       G               
To this day the writing on that page 
G                               D
Is mottled by the tears I shed 
G                                              C                G
Cuz at that moment something inside me changed 
G                               D
And a bright new path I lead 

C             G                                       D         Em
I ran back home and I picked up my old guitar 
C                                               D
And I started strumming these chords 
        C               G       D               Em 
And I sang her words along with this song 
C                                       D
And I heard someone sing along 


And we sang


[Chorus]

C       G               D       Em
Isn't it great to be different? 
C       G                         D
Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are? 
C              G                D               Em
When you learn to start accepting yourself 
C                                   D
You'll become a shining star 


[Verse 3]

G                                             C         G
I turned around and I saw her at my door 
G                                                            D
That cute grey mare with the wall-eyed stare 
G                                                    C          G
She said, "I've heard you play and sing before. 
G                                                   D
And I heard a sadness I could not bear." 

C                       G                   D                           Em
"I just wanted to tell you that the hardest thing I've faced 
C                                       D
Wasn't the teasing or the pain 
          C                     G               D                               Em
It was convincing myself I wasn't stupid, strange, or lame 
C                                       D
And helping others do the same." 


*whistling* 

G                                                C      G
These last few years flew by just like a blur 
G                                                D
I'm now exactly where I should be 
G                               C       G
And I know I owe it all to her 
G                                                     D
The beautiful mare who believed in me~ 


[Chorus] (x2) 

C       G               D       Em
Isn't it great to be different? 
C       G                         D
Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are? 
C              G                D               Em
When you learn to start accepting yourself 
C                                   D
You'll become a shining star 

C       G               D       Em
Isn't it great to be different? 
C       G                         D
Isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are? 
C              G                D               Em
When you learn to start accepting yourself 
C                                   D
You'll become a shining star 


[Outro]

C                                       D
You'll become a shining star (Isn't it wonderful) 
C                                       D
You'll become a shining star (Isn't it great) 

C                                       D               G
When you learn to love just who you are
 
C D G
