• Song:

    Better Is One Day Kutless

  • Artist:

    Kutless

((Noticed a couple of "butchered" versions (no offense).  Thought I'd offer my two cents))

I put this as "Drop D" tuning (sounds closer to the album, but NOT NECESSARY)
((for group (male AND female) transpose to key of "E"))

Intro:  G  C  D (D2 works as well)

    G
How lovely is Your dwelling place
C           D
Oh Lord, Almighty,
    G    
My soul doth long
                   D
And even faints for You....
    G
For here my heart is satisfied
C            D
Within your presence.
  G                                D
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

(Chorus)
          C
Better is one day in Your courts
          D
Better is one day in Your house
          C
Better is one day in Your courts
               D
Than thousands elsewhere
          C
Better is one day in Your courts
          D
Better is one day in Your house
          C  
Better is one day courts 
               D          G
Than thousands elsewhere.

G  -  C  -  D  

(Repeat verse and chorus)

 (Bridge)(skip the "G" at the end of the chorus for this)
Em
My heart and flesh cry out
D-C
For You the Living God
D-Em          D           C
Your Spirit's water to my soul
D-Em
I've tasted and I've seen
D-C
Come once again to me  
D-Em        D        C
I will draw near to you
D-Em        D       C     D
I will draw near to You

(Repeat Chorus twice)

Outtro: G (fade)
