Diamond

Em A (4x) Em A He was stopped at the gates to the city. Em A That’s where the rogue and the innocent meet. Em A Carried the cold of his hometown’s leaving, Em A But wore the heat of the road ‘neath his feet, yeah. Em A (2x) Em A He said he’d come to seek his fortune, Em A Just like some old-time pioneer. Em A Wanted to wash his cloths in the ocean. Em A Shake off the dust of a hundred years. C And though his shoes were wearing through, Em And his hat was full of holes. A He knows that out there somewhere, Em A Em A Em A There’s a diamond, there’s a diamond, there’s a diamond, Em A Em A Em A Em A Em A In the coals. Em A You know he found his own road to salvation. Em A And there’s no praying, no pleading, no test. Em A And that there’s never been a town not worth leaving, Em A Em A Because Heaven doesn’t have an address. Em A And now he's found his own religion Em A And now he’ll follow his very own star. Em A Told me his God wore a corduroy jerkin Em A And played a beat-up, box guitar. C And though his shoes were wearing through, Em And his hat was full of holes. A He knows that out there somewhere, Em A Em A Em A There’s a diamond, there’s a diamond, there’s a diamond, Em A In the coals. C Em He’s on the edge of all he’s looking for. C Em 'Cos he believes there’s always one more road to explore. A C D Like I do, yeah, I do. Em A Em A Em A There’s a diamond, there’s a diamond, there’s a diamond, Em A There’s a diamond, Em A Em A There’s a diamond, in the coals. Em A Em A There’s a diamond, in the coals. Em A There’s a diamond, Em A There’s a diamond, Em A There’s a diamond, Em A There’s a diamond.
