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~
