[Verse 1]
G C G
I'm just an old chunk of coal,
B B7 Em
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day,
C G
I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure and perfect,
A A7 D D7
I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face.
[Verse 2]
G C G
I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day,
B B7 Em
Lest I should become vain along the way.
C G
I'm just and old chunk of coal now Lord,
A7 D7 G
But I'm gonna be a diamond some day.
Guitar Solo over 1st half of verse
[Verse 3]
G C G
I'm gonna learn the best words to talk,
B B7 Em
Gonna search and find a better way to walk.
C G
I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self,
A A7 D D7
'Til I get rid of ev'ry single flaw.
[Verse 4]
G C G
Well I'm gonna be the world's best friend,
B B7 Em
Gonna go 'round shakin' ev'rybody's hand.
C G
Oh, I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age,
A7 D7 G
I'm gonna be a diamond some day.
