The Longing 
Words by Joel Hanson

Intro : (A# F D#)2X
         A#               D#
In each heart there is a longing 
         Cm               F
In each soul a desperate cry 
            A#                 D#
To know if life has some true meaning 
          Cm              F
Or if we simply live and die 
          Gm              A#
Earthly pleasures and possessions 
           D#       A#    Cm
Leave the sinking spirit dry 
         A#               F-D#
In each heart there is a longing 
      Cm-F      (A# F D#)2X
Only Jesus satisfies 

In each life there comes the question 
Is there more than meets the eye 
And what will we see of the eternal 
When the well of days runs dry? 
So we search with so few finding 
The difference between truth and lies 
While in each heart there is a longing 
      Cm-F       A#  
Only Jesus satisfies 

C#       D#      Gm
  Mysetery on a hillside 
F#                   G#
  The purest love expressed 
F#        Fm          D#
  Guilty lips cry forgive me 
         F
In that moment I found rest 

So we search with so few finding 
The difference between truth and lies 
While in each heart there is a longing 
Only Jesus satisfies
While in each heart there is a longing 
      Cm-F      (A# F D#)3X  F#-G#-A#     
Only Jesus satisfies

i think that your final is wrong because the song that you make is of the another instruments but the guitar go with the same sound. peace, God blees you.
