As recorded by Emmylou Harris (From the 1985 Album THE BALLAD OF SALLY ROSE) [Intro] D [Verse 1]
D                      G            D
As each long day rolls by and falls behind me

                                                 A
In the lonely night, there's a peacefulness I've found

           D          G           D              G
Though I'm weary even then when I rise to start again

              D          A             D
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
[Verse 2]
D                      G               D
I have wasted all that life has laid before me

                                               A
I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown

      D             G             D                 G
But I shall not disavow all these ties that bind me now

              D          A             D
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
[Verse 3]
D       G                                  D
Shining down some day I know brighter than all the streets of gold

                                         A
When the burdens that I carry I will lay down

        D              G                    D          G
And the sorrows I have known, I'll see them all be overthrown

              D          A             D
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
[Verse 4]
D                       G                  D
With the passing of the years, I will grow stronger

                                              A
Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning round

         D             G        D             G
Then the closer I will be to my sweetest victory

              D          A             D
There'll be a diamond, a diamond in my crown
