Cadd9            G6       Dsus2              G6
 As a little girl I came down to the water

Cadd9         G6           Dsus2
 With a little stone in my hand

         G6          Dsus2
It would shimmer and sing

    G6            Dsus2   G6
And we knew everything

Cadd9           G6          Dsus2
As a little girl I came down
[Verse 2]
Cadd9               G6         Dsus2          G6
  But in a little while I got steeped in authority

Cadd9          G6         Dsus2
  Heaven only knows what went wrong

           G6         Cadd9
There is nothing so cruel than

  G6         Dsus2    G6
To bury that jewel

Cadd9        G6       Dsus2
When it was mine all along
I'm gonna find it [Chorus]
G6     Cadd9  G6   Dsus2
  You're shining   I can see you

G6     Cadd9  G6   Dsus2
 You're smiling    that's enough

  G6  Cadd9  G6  Dsus2  G6  Dsus2
 I'm holding   on to you

       Cadd9   G6         Dsus2    Cadd9  G6  Dsus2 
Like a diamond  in the rough 
[Verse 3]
Cadd9           G6        Dsus2       
 Every now and then I can see that

     G6
I'm getting somewhere

Cadd9             G6      Dsus2               
 Where I have to go is so deep

       G6            Cadd9 
I was angry back then   and you

 G6        Dsus2    G6
Know I still am

Cadd9     G6           Dsus2
  I have lost too much sleep
But I'm gonna find it [Chorus]
G6     Cadd9  G6   Dsus2
  You're shining   I can see you

G6     Cadd9  G6   Dsus2
 You're smiling    that's enough

  G6  Cadd9  G6  Dsus2  G6  Dsus2
 I'm holding   on to you

       Cadd9   G6         Dsus2
Like a diamond  in the rough

Cadd9   G6         Dsus2
Like a diamond  in the rough 
[Interlude] Cadd9 G6 Dsus2 G6 [X4], then
Dsus2
Snake's in the grass step on the gas
(X4) Cool bass lick! [Verse 4]
Cadd9       G6     Dsus2          G6
 In my dreams I go down by the water

Cadd9              G6      Dsus2   
 With a little girl in my arms

        G6         Dsus2
And we shimmer and sing

        G6        Cadd9   G6
And we know everything

 C          G6      Dsus2
In my dreams I go down
I go down, I go down, I go down, I go down [Chorus]
G6     Cadd9  G6   Dsus2
  You're shining   I can see you

G6     Cadd9  G6   Dsus2
 You're smiling    that's enough

  G6  Cadd9 G6 Dsus2 G6 Dsus2
 I'm holding     on to you

       Cadd9   G6         Dsus2
Like a diamond  in the rough

       Cadd9   G6         Dsus2  
Like a diamond  in the rough
[Repeat Chorus]
G6     Cadd9  G6   Dsus2
  You're shining   I can see you

G6     Cadd9  G6   Dsus2
 You're smiling    that's enough

Like a diamond  in the rough

       Cadd9   G6         Dsus2  
Like a diamond  in the rough

       Cadd9   G6         Dsus2
Like a diamond  in the rough

Like a diamond  in the rough
Cadd9 G6 Dsus2 (X4)
