Joe Purdy – Diamond State (Guitar)

E       F#m 
Take me back those summer days

A                  B
Winter’s making my old bones ache

E       F#m 
I’ll return when the weather’s changed

A                  B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State again

E       F#m 
Well I got religion and the old north wind

A                  B
All the colours came, the colours went

E       F#m 
I swore to get right with my family and friends

A                  B
Gave my bottle to the preacher, start over again, singing

E       F#m 
Take me back those summer days

A                  B
Winter’s making my old bones ache

E       F#m 
I’ll return when the weather’s changed

A                  B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State again

E       F#m 
Well hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

A                  B
She took all the whiskey and all the corn

E       F#m 
She set fire to my house, and took off in a storm

A                  B
Even after she’s gone she’s still keeping me warm

E       F#m 
Take me back those summer days

A                  B
Winter’s making my old bones ache

E       F#m 
I’ll return when the weather’s changed

A                  B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State again

E       F#m 
Well the roof caved in and the house came down

A                  B
There’s a hole in my tent, and one in the ground

E       F#m 
And the places I’ve been ain’t the place I am now

A                  B
So watch where you’re stepping, I’ll see you around

E       F#m 
Take me back those summer days

A                  B
Winter’s making my old bones ache

E       F#m 
I’ll return when the weather’s changed

A                  B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State

E       F#m 
Oh take me back those summer days

A                  B
This winter’s making my old bones ache

E       F#m 
And I’ll return when the weather’s changed

A                  B
I will see you in the Diamond State my friends

E       F#m 
I’m going California, gonna pan for gold

A                  B
Because a diamond in the rough ain’t a diamond in the snow

E       F#m 
I’m gonna empty all my pockets and admit that I’m old

A                  B
Take my coat to the corner and hope it gets sold

E       F#m 
Take me back those summer days

A                  B
Winter’s making my old bones shake

E       F#m 
I’ll return when the weather’s changed

A                  B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State again

E       F#m 
I’ll see you in the Diamond State

A                  B
I’ll see you in the Diamond State

E       F#m 
I will see you in the Diamond State

A                  B
I will see you in the Diamond State

E       F#m 
My friends

A                  B
Oh my good friends
