Patty Loveless – Diamond In My Crown (Guitar)

C                      F              C
As each long day rolls by and falls behind me

                                                G7
In the lonely night there's a peacefulness I've found

           C          F           C             F
Though I'm weary even then when I rise to start again

              C         G7            C
There'll be a diamond a diamond in my crown

                       F               C
I have wasted all that life has laid before me

                                               G7
I have watched as all the green fields turn to brown

      C             F             C                 F
But I shall not disavow all these ties that bind me now

              C         G7            C
There'll be a diamond a diamond in my crown

         F                                 C
Shinning down someday I know brighter than all their streets of gold

                                         G7
When the burdens that I carry I will lay down

        C              F                   C          F
And the sorrows I have known I'll see them all be overthrown

              C         G7            C
There'll be a diamond a diamond in my crown

                        F                 C
With the passing of the years I will grow stronger

                                              G7
Just as sure as this old world keeps spinning round

         C             F        C             F
Then the closer I will be to my sweetest victory

              C         G7            C
There'll be a diamond a diamond in my crown
