A Different World
Bucky Covington


A                                       F#m
We were born to mothers who smoked and drank
      A                                          F#m
Our Cribs were cribs were covered in lead based paint
     E                              D
No Childproof lids no seatbelts in cars
      E                                       D
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are
               A
Still here we are

A                                F#m
We got daddy''''s belt when we misbehaved
      A                                 F#m
Had three T.V. channels you got up to change
     E                   D
No video games and no satellite
     E                                   D
All we had were friends and they were outside
          A
Playing Outside

Chorus:
          D    E    F#m
It was a different life
               D    E   A
When we were boys and girls
            D    E    F#m
Not just a different time
          D    E     A
It was a different world

A                                 F#m
School always started the same everyday
      A                                      F#m    
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
      E                                 D
Not every kid made the team when they tried
    E                               D
We got disappointed but that was alright
                 A
We turned out alright

Chorus:
          D    E    F#m
It was a different life
               D    E   A
When we were boys and girls
            D    E    F#m
Not just a different time
          D    E     A
It was a different world

Bridge:

C#m            F#m
   No bottled water
C#m                       F#m
   We drank from a garden hose
 C#m             F#m
   And every Sunday
 D
All the stores were closed

Chorus:
               E    F#m
It was a different life
               D    E   A
When we were boys and girls
            D    E    F#m
Not just a different time
          D    E     A
It was a different world
 
Chorus:
          D    E    F#m
It was a different life
               D    E   A
When we were boys and girls
            D    E    F#m
Not just a different time
          D    E     A
It was a different world

          D    E     A
It was a different world
